Unless you count legal drafting, writing is for me a hobby, and something I've only taken to in retirement. I have always been passionately interested in history and in my roots, which are in Ireland, so I tend to write about Irish history. Also having spent most of my working life in Zimbabwe, I have written a book about that too, and another about flying light aircraft, another addiction. Now I have retired - that was the idea, anyhow. But I am finding this writing business a full time occupation....
