About

Started my working life a long time ago

and now Men’s working life (pension age)

has been lowered to Women’s, I have

enough stamps to collect a full pension.

I worked as an Apprentice Carpenter and Joiner, this is where my love of the outdoors and wood comes from, working most of the time in and around London with spells of work in Germany, Denmark, Zimbabwe, Botswana. Work has consisted of 1st fixing ,2nd fixing, finals, truss roof and cut and pitch roof, restoration and renovation, shuttering sea defence walls and motorway bridges, modern timber frame buildings and last but not least greenwood working traditional timber framing. Travel has also been big on my list and have had the opportunity to visit  about 37 countries, all of this is on-going.
