My family

My wife Judy makes the most astonishingly beautiful hats - within ten years she has gone from scratch to being one of the top bespoke milliners in London. She is also an artist, costumier, reflexologist, teacher, mother and all round gorgeous and brilliant girl. Marrying her in 1979 was the best thing I've ever done.

Will'm was born in 1984, is a maths boffin, professional croupier and poker dealer, computer and video game meister, student of Mandarin Chinese, and recently graduated from Heythrop College, Univ. of London with a first class honours degree in Philosophy.
The world awaits...

Jasper was born in 1988 and has also just graduated with a stonkingly brilliant degree in Popular Music at the Univ. of Gloucestershire at Cheltenham. He survived being born six weeks premature with Listeria Meningitis and decided to completely ignore it, picked up my guitar at an early age and fell in love with music. Jasper is now a man with a finely honed wit, the most astonishing singing voice and a really serious musical talent.
Will wants to know everything, Jasp is aiming for Rock Deity. They are both at a major turning point in their lives.

My eldest sister, Sorrel, has been many things during her tough but extraordinary life, but having almost single-handedly invented the teenager in her youth, is now busy growing old disgracefully and, with more energy than she has any right to, recently went round the world, alone, on a shoestring.

My sister Anna is an actress and producer and one of the absolute best audio book readers in the English language. Anna keeps coming up with astonishing new things, like out of the blue touring Russia representing a charity that gives money for Russian schools - so improv in Moscow not a problem then!

I've written a memorial website for my father Henry who died in 1997, which tells the story of an extraordinary man who died too young.

I'm in the process of writing one for my mother Pauline too, who died even younger, taking her own life in 1967.
