This site is divided into three sections:

Photos is my personal album, containing a selection of recent holiday snaps, parties, plays I have performed in and other personal photographs.

Travelogues contains accounts of various trips around the world, including how I went to Africa for the first time, got involved with the revitalisation of a wildlife reserve, and ended up falling in love with Malawi and going back several more times.

Videos was set up in a bit of a rush to publish the recording of my debut television appearance in the (now defunct) "Royal Today".


Coming next - The Great African Gap Year

CELTA 
Are you planning to do the four-week Cambridge CELTA TEFL course? I've just completed it at the Manchester Academy of English and here's my tip for anyone thinking of doing it - they will tell you it's intensive, they will tell you it's hard work, they will tell you to entirely give up all your social life for the duration of the course. They are not kidding. It's all of that. It's also a damn good course and well worth the money. If anyone wants more info from someone who's been there and done that, drop me an .
Here's another tip - there is a book called "Concept Questions and Timelines" by Graham Workman. This was not on the recommended books list for the course, nor was it in the school's library. In fact I didn't find out about its existance until nearly the end of the course when it was too late. As far as I know it's the only one of its kind, and even though I haven't even seen it, I would strongly recommend anyone doing the course to get it. If you don't know what CCQs are now, believe me they will be haunting your dreams by the end of the course!

The plan is to spend a year in Africa doing voluntary work. Haven't quite worked out where, when or how yet, but I have started the ball rolling by doing a four-week course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and acquiring a Cambridge CELTA Certificate.


I'm also having a major clear-out of the house. There are a few items for sale or give-away (including my CELTA course books, which I will be selling second-hand) here
