I'm an ex-geologist, an ex-Outward Bound instructor and administrator, an ex-journalist, and an ex-book editor. I still consider myself a scientist. I'm now retired and spend seven months of each year in Fanling, a town in Hong Kong's New Territories, and five months in Penrith, my home town in England.
Although many people regard graffiti as just another form of vandalism, I’m a huge fan and consider it a valid art form. The Writing on the Fence, which I recorded in Manchester in 2018, underlines my view.
