My path
England
Rugby
I am currently living in England since October 1964
My life & projects in this location:
Bringing you 2 beautiful children. My wife would suggest that she is bringing up "3" children, 2 of whom beautiful and the other being... well.. me.
My occupation:
Architectural Designer, Property article author, Commercial Lettings proprietor
What I like about this destination:
We live in the shadow of the world famous Rugby School (Home of the Game, Tom Browns Schooldays etc). Sam (son) finished at Rugby School in 2007 and Hannah (daughter) started at Rugby School in 2008. Apart from the School my only other comment would be. I was born here.
What I don't like about this destination:
Society. Like many places of 100,000 population Rugby's town centre has it's own "hoodie youth culture" which I cannot remember being significant when I was a teenager. Maybe my generation made people as uncomfortable but simply without the "hoodie".

What I like about this destination:
Culture, architecture, climate. Is that not the essence of all things !!
What I don't like about this destination:
Corrupt Beaurocracy. When the buck-shee system moves away from the souks and into commerce then it does not come natural for me to accept.
