I work as a Business Manager in the UK Nuclear Industry; prior to that I was a Royal Navy Submarine Officer for 20+ years. Lancashire is my ancestral home however; we've been in Cornwall since 1993. My wife ''Phillippa' is a District nurse. Married in 1992 we first met in Gosport whilst I was serving on Diesel submarines at the long since closed HMS Dolphin submarine base.
We have 3 grown up children (B,B,G): Engineer; Medical Student & Naval Rating and we have one Grandchild (B). We also have a black labrador called Opie; 3 cats and 7 chickens. We enjoy the peace and tranquility of our Cornish home and garden. We love to walk the dog and watch the plants grow in our spare time. We are a very close family, even with those who don't live nearby; we always have family about the place and we love it.
We decided to rent out one of the apartments in our home because our children have all flown the nest and we get a great sense of satisfaction out of others enjoying the Cornish countryside.
