À propos
Used to do RC cars, but now starting out with boats having inherited my dad's Billings Progress Trawler & a 4ft Crash Tender, both of which are sadly in need of a lot of work before they will be back on the water.
I am also an avid lover/supporter of ferrets, supporting our local rescue, & doing ferret PR to anyone who shows the slightest interest.
