I'm an inquisitive type who likes to know why things work, so it's no surprise I'm an engineer. In my spare time you can find me growing fruit and vegetables in my garden, making models and tapestry, and enjoying days out in beautiful (and slightly rainy) England. I love nature, walking and camping, and I am a bookworm with a big collection of books on history, religion and assorted mysteries. My love of heavy metal music entertains the neighbours as well as myself, and I'm crazy about Olympic sport.
