About

I am an almost 72 year old Christian who does not believe in retirement. I still have a lot to offer but I need to get started in the UK.

I was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire but most of my family live in and around Weybridge, Surrey.

I have a clean Driving License and am willing to help anyone.

My wife and I both assist our daughter in looking after her seven year old child.
