About me My story

I am a fit and healthy 55 year old. I have been married to my wife Sandra for 34 years and have 3 children Lisa (33), Claire (29) and Jack (8). Jack was our happy surprise!!! I also have 2 grandchildren Pearl (nearly 3) and Bert (10 months).

I love sports (football and golf in particular), cooking and gardening.

I come from a long line of cowards (our ancestors were deserters from the Spanish armada who landed on the Isle of Man).

Originally from Liverpool but now acting as a missionary spreading the scouse gospel in Yorkshire.............

Reason I wanted to take part - I guess to impress / embarass / shock? my family (Jack is gobsmacked.....). I will be using my 1 hour of fame to raise the profile of the use of the Makaton language programme in assisting children with speech problems to communicate.

Thank you so much for raising the profile of Makaton. It is clear from the comments that your family and friends that they are very proud of you - and so they should be! It would be great to talk, so please get in touch. Nickie from The Makaton Charity 01276 606760

That was great I followed a bit of Makaton because I learnt it when I had a foster child. I just wish you had been on during the day time. Well done

Good for you. I have an advanced certificate in Makaton and use it regularly with all sorts of people. It is an excellent system and more people need to be aware of it.

Makaton specifically contains three elements, speak, sign, and symbol. It would have been nice had you been able to incorporate the symbols but I guess you were limited in resources.
