Our Wedding - Maidenhead 2005.
About Me (Phil)
I grew up in Totton, Southampton, with my parents and older sister.
I did well at school with 5 Advanced level subjects at 18. 4 grade "A" in Maths, Pure Maths, Applied Maths and Physics with a grade "B" in Chemistry. Further qualifications are a BSC Honours degree in Mathematics (Manchester University) and a teaching qualification.
I taught Maths at Desborough school from 1973 to 1994. I left briefly before returning to manage the school's Computer Network. By the time I retired in Feb 2013 I managed some 400PCs and 900 users.
Interests - I love to travel. I and my wife have recently bought a Motorhome and we have travelled to Scotland Wales France the Czech republic and France again.
Previously I have been to many countries on what are best described as "Adventure Tours".
I am a keen follower of Cricket Rugby and Soccer. and have seen England play (cricket) test matches in Sri Lanka and Trinidad
About Nida
She lived and worked on her Parent's farm near Uttaradit Thailand.
Life is quite difficult and many people who live "from hand to mouth" and as with many women her Thai husband simply left her to look after her son.
We met in 2003 and were married in UK in 2005.
After a real battle with the authorities we also got a visa for her son to join us.
They now both have UK citizenship (and passports)
About us
We bought land in her parents village and have been building our Thai house since 2006 (see Thailand pages for more detail)
Our plans now I have retired are...
