About linnetwoods
With my partner, Robbie and two cats, Sweetie Pie and Honeybun, I live aboard a schooner at anchor off the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain.
Born in England, I was brought up in various countries (dad was a diplomat) and speak five languages to varying degrees of fluency. Over the past several decades I have written many songs, some published others not as yet, and three books as yet to be offered for publication; I have painted and drawn works both sold and not for sale, played seven musical instruments, travelled and worked in many places at many occupations.
