I am an ex Royal Air Force pilot and widower. I live alone with my Irish setter dog Rudy in a large detached house in a conservation village. I am widely travelled especially to India where I am the godfather of the Maharaja of jaipur. my dear wife Tanya passed away last christmas, and I have become almost reclusive ever since. Around the time of my Wifes terminal diagnosis I was informed that I had motor neurone disease, which effects my arms and head. I am still mobile and fairly independent, and I have no intention of just rolling over and giving up.
