His work has appeared in many leading magazines such as Punch, The Oldie, Private Eye and Readers Digest to name but a few. He has also written amusing articles for several magazines on a variety of subjects with accompanying illustrations. His outside interests including cycling, kayaking and he has sailed sand yachts at international events. Geoff wrote and illustrated a number of little stories for his children and these were filed away and then resurrected for his grandchildren.

This was made quite easy for Geoff as he now has a computer which makes dusting off easy by the click of a mouse and the new found magic of the iworld.
