About me
 My local time: [ ]    :  BST

I live in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in the United Kingdom, and until March 2010 worked for Unilever building Web sites for the company's internal use. I have two grown-up daughters and four grandchildren, all living near York. I am 75 years, 352 days old.

I believe the Universe was deliberately created and that its creator has chosen to be knowable, to the full extent of our willingness to see and hear.

Involvement with Wikipedia
I began editing Wikipedia on 4th September 2003 and have no plans to stop! However, time is sometimes short and I'm involved in many other things so my edits are sometimes few and brief.

My favourite activities on Wikipedia are quite mundane, a bit of copy editing, reverting vandalism when I come across it, tidying and fixing. I have created a number of articles but have never had enough time to do serious amounts of work researching and constructing articles. If I can improve and add here and there I'm generally content.

Note to myself
Time to tidy up this messy page - there's help here...
