Our family has been holidaying in Weymouth since 1976. We finally moved here in 2019, when my wife retired from her role as manager of a Christian charity owned, East Shallowford Farm, on Dartmoor, established for visits from inner city children; where we lived and worked for five years. Our children, their partners and my wife are also teachers!
I have spent most of my working life in the UK forestry industry, culminating in the Presidency of the Institute of Chartered Foresters. I remain a Non-Exec Director of a consultancy working with NGO’s, government bodies and business, focusing on our capacity to adapt to climate change.
Having joined St Aldhelm's church family, we are building new friendships and hoping to find ways we can support the local community.
