And just for fun:
A moment from Ben’s brief but very enjoyable acting career long ago… Ben was featured in a Suntory Whiskey advertisement while at Oxford University. This period piece was filmed after the release of ‘Chariots of Fire’ and was set in a ‘1920s’ era style. (Ben is the boxer on the left.)
so fascinating and brilliant personnaly one of the rare to make me feel small as a mouse 😉

Thanks so much for finding me on Goodreads. I am now following you here and there. When I read that you were interested in marine conservation, it really hit home because I live on the Gulf Coast and I love the water, the beaches and all the critters that live there. I am not an avid boxing fan, but I used to never miss a fight with Muhammad Ali. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. He had the goods to back up his braggadocio. I too will read almost anything. I never know where I will find that hidden gem. I look forward to hearing what you are up to. Have a wonderful weekend.

I was recommended your book by Diane. Something in the water is a great read by the way. I was hoping you might write something with more boxing in it. I represented Brasenose for a spell in the 70s 😄. I see you like go box …a quintuple blue…wow. I’d love to know more about your Oxford days.
