I'm a community psychiatrist, love writing and helping people with personality problems. I like growing odd vegetables, they fit my own personality structure.

Professor Michael King has just died - a sad loss. Not only was he an excellent research colleague but also a staunch advocate of human rights. His flame will burn on

Canterbury stained glass revelations – older than thought. Were the images of Canterbury pilgrims there at Chaucer’s time too? See the re-enactment of the Newark pilgrims’ journey - https://t.co/t6MWIiRDIE
