I was brought up in a village in Suffolk. Think rural and idyllic. To give you an idea, our house was approximately half a mile from this (now minus the cart):
Suffolk still very much has its claws in me; it drags me back every other Saturday to watch Ipswich Town in their annual, unsuccessful battle to secure promotion.
Cambridgeshire is home now, however. In my daily existence I am a lecturer and Fellow in Law at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where I try to be serious now and again. I teach and write on an eclectic mix of topics, including landlord and tenant law, trusts, homelessness, and women and the law.
I live in a village nearby where, putting up with my writing obsession, are my partner, two young daughters, and spaniels Treacle and W.G. Snuffy Walden.
