About

I lived in London.Was born in the East End in a tenament slum..Life could only go up from there and it did An antique shop and art gallery in St Johns Wood ,North London...A series of adventures and disasters.but meeting incredible people as a young man returned from a small country town as an evacuee during WW I attracted the more eccentric to my gallery...and enjoyed every moment Became part of the film Industry as Set Decorator/Buyer quite by accident..and began to work with wonderful artists...Gielgud , Scofield , Tony Hopkins, Emma Thomson ,Judy Dench.but enough name dropping... 'In The Name Of The Father' Jeeves and Wooster''Far From The Madding Crowd' 'Death on The Nile', 'Love in The Time of Cholera' 'Longitude'and many more... We won British Academy Awards for Jeeves and Longitude..Nominated for MTV Award for Music Promos in my early days. A film 'Eragon brought me to Budapest and here I stayed.. Life has been a Yellow Brick Road' of accidental happenings.. Late in life as my time came to an end in films (Much to stressful for a 70 years old) I began designing jewelry as a hobby but now is a serious occupation. Just designed the crown for The World Top Model event held on December 4th 2013 .You tube 'World Top Model Presentation of The Crown.' I recently joined a choir.(but love Karaoke.) I conduct English Conversation classes on a one to one basis. I enjoy the coffee bars and good conversation and talk too much..
