Infos

A veteran of the Royal Navy, and more latterly a successful career within the funeral business, why not join me on a voyage through the years. Stories of the silly, the funny, and occasionally the tragic things that happen in life, usually unseen. With occasional references to matters operational, I hope you laugh or shed a tear as you discover the inside story of what actually preceded the death of Oliver Reed.* Why did failed diplomatic clearance almost cost our Royal family dear?* An African Grey parrot that tried taking over the running of a messdeck at sea.... surely not?* And just how did a ragged group of barely trained young sailors manage to achieve Michelin starred excellence in the middle of the jungle?* Why did my untimely death in the 1970's set me on a 50-year course through unsettled waters?* How has mental ill health affected the way I function? My 'working dash' has been severely affected by uncontrollable factors during the last year or two, and yet I continue to move forward with life.I will take you on a step by step climb up an old rigging mast, mirrored, I suppose, with my life's journey thus far. Let me introduce you to some of the largest creepy crawlies you would never wish to come across, learn about some of the hidden rituals that are carried out at sea. Share my astonishment as I meet Elvis in the promised land and watched a mud monster crawl out of a grave.
