Description
A mature traveller ex-controls engineer. Now a part-time sculptor
Recently returned from Norway where I was sculpting and helped in the restoration of two historic buildings.
I am currently residing in the South of France.
I'm farm born so practical I know which end to hold a saw and the difference between a nail and screw.
Gregarious but also enjoy my own company.
When not working you’ll find me sculpting with steel, out with my camera or getting lost.
I travel with my own 4x4, trailer and a substantial amount of tools.Interests
