  • About me

Welcome to my Google profile - here, you should be able to find everything you need to know about me, and links to different websites I write for or use... enjoy!

---

I am the landlord of The Tharp Arms, a small pub in the village of Chippenham, near Newmarket, Suffolk, which I run with my wife, Alison.

Born in 1972 in Redcar, North Yorkshire, to a family of entertainers, I enjoy an active imagination, a love of cars, an infatuation with Formula One and a passion for writing.  I'm the son of a musician and the nephew of magician Paul Daniels; I enjoy an over-developed sense of humour and a creatively pertinacious view on life.

When I grow up I'd really like to make my living from writing books and articles, but I have no idea where to start.  Any generous agents please feel free to get in touch.  Meanwhile, I write a regular blog for The Publican magazine and also write often to both my personal blog and my pub's blog.  Links to all of these are on this page - feel free to visit them!

Uncle Paul digs my Renault Vel Satis out of the snow ... this was far slippier than it looks!
Dad's a little surprised by the sudden arrival of guests.
Maybe this is why Alistair Darling's not worried about alcohol duty - he makes it back on his own wine!
Teaching the kids to play Cluedo - Simpsons styley
Malachy bemoans the fact that his school is one of the few in the area still open...
