Thank you, Miss Thurgood at Luton Village Infants school in Chatham; you taught me to read and write! I often wish I could go back to say "Thank you!" and show you what I've done with that invaluable gift. And you, potential reader, spare a thankful thought for the teacher who made it possible for you to read what I've written. Me? I'm retired, a grandfather, I live in Milton Keynes. I've been a Baptist minister, a counsellor, a local government officer, and an editor and freelance copy writer. I write because I love writing. if it benefits you, it's a bonus. I graduated from the University of North Wales with a BA in French, German and Linguistics and from Spurgeon's College with a London University BD. Take a look at my website: www.treasure-store.org.uk
