Sailing |
I love sailing but don’t currently own a boat as I would have no time to sail it. Hopefully, I’ll get another when I retire. | |

Numismatics

I see coins as more than just mementos of the past. I love the art of the designs, the heraldry, the striking process, their economic significance and in particular their context within history. | |

Music

I enjoy a wide range of music including: classical, rock, dance, folk, jazz and country. | |

Art confirms we are not alone. If an abstract image is inexplicably emotive to a wide variety of people then they have a connection not easily defined. |
