Interests
I am married and father to two grown up daughters, two son-in-laws and have a four year old
granddaughter. Much of my spare time is devoted to my family. We enjoy spending time in the
Yorkshire Dales and Derbyshire together as often as we can. My wife and I have a caravan which
we use as often as time permits. I also have a keen interest in boating and owned a cabin cruiser
for 10 years.
