I am a semi-retired British diplomat born in England (Albion) now living in Japan (Nihon). Following a 35 year long career with HM Diplomatic Service   which took me to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and finally back to Asia, I took voluntary early retirement in 2010. I now live in Japan where I am an intercultural coach and trainer, helping Japanese business people understand the joys of the English language as well as the cultural background to my home country.

I write about my experiences both in Japan and England building links across the two countries where I now divide my time, energies and passions.
