Retired ecologist. Wife, children and grandchildren, not too many of each! Hobbies include photography, travel, eating and drinking, wildlife and history. I suppose I should now add writing as my book on Woodland Wild Flowers was published in May 2021 and I am now working on two more. Coastal Wildflowers which is more or less complete and one about Walls and flowers, combining famous or interesting walls with flowers that colonise them.
