[edit] About me.

Although showing as on a wikibreak, I may be editing now and then, but not as much as I have been recently.

I live in Hadlow, Kent. My hobbies and interests include molinology, deltiology, civil aircraft, railways and Dutch. I have been researching the windmills, millers and millwrights of Norwich for a number of years. The results of my (ongoing) research can be found on the Norfolk Mills website.

For my userboxes see this page, articles I've created or worked on can be found on this page.
