Full Description
I have had a long and extremely interesting career full
of twists and turns. At eighteen years of age, I played keyboards for two blues
bands on Merseyside. I then became employed in the travel business for fifteen
years until I was made redundant. My next career move was to become a
videographer, which continued for thirty years. As a sideline, for a few years
I had small roles on TV and in film, including 'Scandal' in 1989. Later
in life I began writing poetry and articles for UK and US magazines and more
recently wrote three songs with Frankie Collins from the soul/funk band Kokomo,
who are still going strong. However, my greatest achievement is to complete
this book after so many years of writing it. After going to Thailand in 1998,
it tells the story of how I became involved in the welfare of dogs on the
beaches of Koh Samui, in particular one we named Gypsy. It details our
adventures over two consecutive holidays, including heart-warming moments as
well as seriously dramatic events. Attempting to bring her to England proved to
be considerably traumatic with many problems and disappointments, but we
overcame those and happily homed her in Bollington for thirteen years. Her life
with us is well documented in the book, as are our further visits to Koh Samui
to work at the Dog Rescue Centre as volunteers.
