I have a few interests in addition to music; the films themselves, the politics of mid-20th century Soviet Union, watching football (Leeds United fan, accident of birth), and since the kids flew the nest, we’ve been fortunate enough to do some modest travelling, during which time we’ve been “collecting” world class art such as in The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Van Gogh Museum, the Uffizi Gallery, the Royal Academy, the Tate Liverpool.

Hobbies are a different thing altogether – to me they’re physical activities, and that’s limited to photography (with a small p) and a bit of gardening. I wouldn’t call it a hobby, though; I find that sitting back and looking at it with a glass of wine is much more enjoyable than actually doing it.

Old codger? Heck, yes!
