I did an undergraduate degree in Classics at Merton College,Oxford (1982-6), then a Ph.D at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (1986-90) about Apollonius of Rhodes. After working for a couple of years at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population, I moved to Manchester in 1992, where until the end of August 1996, I worked as Census Information Officer at Manchester Computing. I moved to Bath in 1996 and for most of 1997 I worked for NISS at the University of Bath.
A few years ago I did the Cambridge University Library paperchase.
I also do a bit of walking; in 1997 I completed the Three Peaks Walk for the second time and in June 2000 I did the Lyke Wake Walk. I am often to be found on long, flat, pointless walks in the Cambridge area in the spring.
