Many of my readers will be aware that my website is my autobiography and that the first chapter (Manboy Geordie) is already published here. Today I’ve opened a new page for my second chapter called ‘Sailor Daze’ (no it isn’t a misspelling) to chart my Naval Service between 1971 and 1981. Part 1 is a series of memoirs from my basic training at H.M.S. Raleigh and is published now and available to read. As I add new parts to this chapter I’ll put an alert here on my home page or alternatively readers may want to click the button to get email update alerts.

I hope you enjoy my stories and anecdotes from this ten year period in my life when I served on several warships and travelled extensively all over the world and if you are ex-RN or serving RN I’d love to hear from you and read a few of your tales.
