We own a narrowboat called Hendrika, named after the heroine of “The cow who fell in the canal”. She is based at the Thames and Kennet marina, near Sonning, and we try and get away on her as often as we can. So far we have had trips to the head of the Thames, Banbury on the Oxford canal, and the eastern end of the Kennet and Avon. Last year we took her to the lowest point on the non-tidal Thames at Teddington Lock, and this year headed upstream to Tadpole Bridge.

I have a great variety of interests, some of which are detailed on this page.
I have a wide range of musical tastes, ranging from classical to heavy rock, and covering most things in between. Basically, if it is good, I like it. The only thing I really do not like is manufactured pop.
I own a Triumph Vitesse Convertable 2 litre Mk2. It has recently been re-sprayed by Lillywhites Garage in Emsworth.
I seem to have acquired quite a lot of stringed instruments over the years. The collection includes:-
