About the Author

This book is about me – a memoir – written from notes accumulated over more than a thirty-year period. So other than to say that I am of English birth and now 81 years of age, with a home in Spain, but spent some time in the UK, and still managed to travel elsewhere, the rest is now for you, dear reader, to find out.
