Other than writing, his interests include gardening, family history, walking, watching sport, code-breakers of Bletchley Park, economics, music, art and reading--favourite topics: real-life exploits (especially at sea), war stories (particularly POW escapes) and amusing fiction. But, he says, family always comes first.
