Here are some of my interests - Jack of all trades and master of none!

Genealogy ~ I've got records of my family history back to the 1400s. This site contains details of some of the lines (branches of the family) I'm currently working on and some links to genealogical resources on the web I've found useful. I've also recently added a complete download of my entire family tree database as linked web pages - have a look!

Here are some of my other interests

Gardening ~ Summer is for gardening
Alan is a skilled designer and plants man, I am enthusiastic and, like Alan, am good at the practical work. We both savour the finished results. Look at this section to see some of the gardens we've worked on.
Photography ~ Previously a dedicated 35mm fan, I am now almost completely digitized, the well used Pentax SLR doesn't often see the air these days.
Computer~ I've been mucking about with computers for the last 20 years, here are some of the more fun things I've done!
Bikes ~ I ride a Kawasaki ZZR600
Collecting ~ Yes I am a kleptomaniac. This page lists various current and historical collections
Railways ~ I am passionate enthusiast for Railways, anything that steams is a real bonus!
Music ~ a bit about my musical interests and some of the midi files I've created over the years!
