I took the radical decision to do 'O' level cookery ('79-81) at a time when only the girls did cookery in their first three years. I really enjoyed it so cooked meals for my friends. Here I am in the late Carol Spall's kitchen cooking supper for them.

This is at my former home in the coach house at Lamer Park. I had the challenge of taking a multiple exposure picture so I set the camera on a tripod and took a series of photos as I walked across the frame. I then combined them in photoshop.

I started playing the tuba when I went to senior school in 1976. Here I am playing with the City of Southampton (Albion) Band in Germany. This was an impromptu concert in the local bar one evening hence the lack of uniforms. I swapped tubas with my friend NIck so I am playing his BBb bass and he is playing my EEb.
