Who am I? A person interested in life, asking the question why I'm here, what is our purpose and in thinking I have found the answer will seek to challenge it. I enjoy myself doing lots of different things now that I'm not working for money but just interested in living to the full. Born in London but now living in a village with wife, my 3 children now live elsewhere. Worked in software houses for 47 years but now retired and enjoying the freedom that not working brings. For interests I play chess for Rugby,  with the English being the opening I play most, write poetry, plays and short stories, help in the background of a theatre,  build showjumping courses, enjoy discussing anything, present a radio show at Coventry Hospital, go for long walks, gardening but  the highlight is taking services in a number of different churches in and around Coventry and North Warwickshire area, with the privilege of having reach 800 service and hoping to get to the 1,000. I lead a bible study group and find this is a wonderful way to delving into deeper understanding of faith. Have taken up Bowls, and found it great fun and now captain of my club Oakfield in Rugby and a director at the Thornfield Indoor club. Life is good.
