I was born and have lived in Great Britain all of my life, spending most of my time in Scotland and Northern England. I am very interested in environmental issues, particularly those of wildlife conservation. I am a practising member of the Roman Catholic Church, but have a great respect for all religions.

My students use Wikipedia a great deal for their studies and this is the reason I chose to contribute to this online information centre, which has become a valuable and beneficial resource around the world. I have an interest in old movies and the actors and actresses of the silver screen, as well as the world of art and literature.
