Tom retired from the Fire Service in 2009 after thirty years' service. Tom now spends his time hill walking, swimming, scuba diving and writing poetry. Tom has an honours degree in science from the Open University and has a keen interest in science, international affairs, art and music. Tom lives in Edinburgh with his wife Hilary; they have two grown up daughters.

This wonderful collection of songs and poetry was inspired by the work of the Pre-Raphaelite artists.
