I can cook virtually anything and frequently do.  I consider it a relaxation, and standing in the kitchen with a bottle of wine, putting together your favourite dish is not be be underestimated. Check out my recipes

Anyone who knows me knows about my love of cars.  Some people think of a car as a mechanical device for getting from A to B, but for me that misses the point.  Some cars have soul and brio and interacting with these can provide such pleasure.  Even sitting looking at cars such as the E-Type Jaguar has its own reward; they're pure art.  I've had an appearance on 'Top Gear', ITV's 'From A to B' and also on Channel 4’s 'Deals on Wheels'.  In fact, I even auditioned for Top Gear presenter, but didn't get the job.  C'est la vie!

I'm a great fan of the Leslie Charteris books - better known as the writer of The Saint .  Many people think of Simon Templar as a sort of James Bond Character, but aren't aware that Charteris created him as an anti-hero.  In fact, the best way to describe him would be a bounty hunter.  If you fancy finding out more, follow the link and visit The Saint Club

 

Helicopter flying - I have had lessons and seem to be taking to it very well.  The first time the acting pilot says "you have control" is a little unnerving as you then literally have the controls and know it is you that is flying the thing.  That's me in the picture below, just taking off from Elstree - It's highly satisfying, but pretty expensive....

 


And what about the politics?
