Keith, living in Ormskirk, Lancs, is married with two boys in Secondary school. He met his wife while teaching in Peru and learned to speak fairly fluent Spanish! He now teaches in a Junior school, his main responsibility being ICT, but he's usually expected to fix all other things that whirr, buzz, click or flash.

His interests and activities include computers and their uses, chess, swimming, fell-walking, crosswords, reading (nearly anything from Dickens to Harry Potter, via Tolkien, Azimov and Umberto Eco), travel, other languages, photography, D.I.Y., cars and most other machinery, food and wine.

All this when his family gives him time off......

Oh - the parrot is not part of Keith's normal attire!
