My name is David Fernley and I’m a serial hobbyist living in North Yorkshire, England. My particular passion is to know more about my family’s history and the world in which they lived.
About this blog
This blog is for anyone who’s interested in the past and present, and enjoys stories made with words and pictures. I’ll keep you updated on progress with my projects, and publish articles on history, literature and the world around me
I’d also like this blog to be a place where people get involved and contribute their own views about history and writing. If you want to get involved you can comment on individual posts, follow the blog on Facebook and Twitter, or contact me by email.
In my spare time
As well as writing, I work part-time as an assessor for vocational qualifications. I play the melodeon (a bit like an accordion, but with buttons instead of keys), tinker with my model railway, fish, walk, and take photographs. I also love studying and have a BA in history and English and an MA in English literature.
I live with my lovely wife, a dog, a cat and a horse. (Except of course the horse lives outdoors.)
