Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

To counter some of this prejudice I have dispensed with sending my CV and have instead created The Complete Picture, an animated ninety second overview of my life to date @ https://vimeo.com/223960456.

Parliament Squared by Derek Wyatt In the 20th century,  we failed to understand it until 1945. By which time we had had two different world wars within twenty years.
