I was brought up in Cyprus, Persia and Thailand. I have lived most of my life in France and Spain, and live between Spain and England now.

I worked in the pearl trade for twenty-five years selling Australian pearls in Athens, Istanbul and Hong Kong.

Over the last ten years I have built up a collection of books and ephemera on Spain. I am now adding items from Mexico and South America in order to create a website for selling modern Hispanic Culture.
