I have now retired due to ill health, but
have worked in many fields of employment, I left school in 1963 and worked in a
buying office for several years with a company making sliding door gear and up
and over garage doors, whilst there I trained in first aid and factory safety in
general.
I then spent several years working with the gas company converting gas
appliances to run on natural gas, and was a call back engineer sorting out leaks
and other problems with appliances. I got married in 1968 and then worked in and
around London fitting gas control valves on gas meters.
My next venture was working with various companies involved in diamond drilling
and stone cutting for the civil engineering sector,
I then decided to work for myself as a self employed plumber, due to a previous
accident I found it difficult to continue so I purchased the lease to a shop and
ran that for a number of years.
In 1985 I moved from my home town of Stotfold in Bedfordshire to Brighton East
Sussex and worked as a self employed builder and plumber, in 1990 I fell from a
ladder and fractured my spine and in 1993 had major heart surgery. Whilst living
in Brighton I became interested in kites and kite flying and for a number of
years was the Chairperson/co-coordinator of Brighton Kite Flyers, which was a
very enjoyable time in my life.
In 2003 I moved to live in Stafford in the midlands and now fly my kites on
Stafford common, which is situated at the rear of my house and is accessible via
a gate at the bottom of my garden, as I am mostly confined to a wheelchair these
days I don't manage to get to the kite festivals which I used to enjoy so much
whilst living in Brighton.
I still am a member of both Brighton Kite Flyers and the American Kite
Association. Please feel free to check out my Web Blogs.
