I'm a teacher, writer, grandfather and live in Normandy with Vicki, my wife. I'm half-French by birth, but we are now happily both French AND British. I love sketching, cooking, reading and telling stories to our 4 exuberant grandchildren.

I grew up in York, Bombay (Mumbai) and Colwyn Bay. As a VSO I taught for a year in Senegal before studying English Literature at Cambridge. That is where I started doing the Tai Chi, which I love, but which I don't do nearly enough. I need Lao Tzu to push me out of bed and go and do some in the garden or on a beach.

I also love poetry and have a poetry blog at www.paddysalmon-poetry-ponderings.com
