Welcome!
Welcome to our web site. It has been written partly for our friends, and partly for the wider community.
For our friends, both new and old, it will tell you something about us (in the 'Personal' section), our hobbies, interests, beliefs and activities; and also about the Christian and community work we do (in the 'Ministry' section).
You will also find a number of articles (in the 'Writings' section) which are offered as resources, mostly to the Christian community, although there are some of a more general nature. Please feel free to browse, and tell us what you think - especially if you disagree with or have questions about any of it!
For new friends to this site, we are sharing a house with Steve, an old friend from university days. The house is in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, in the South West of England. We have been living with Steve since 1999, when we sold our house in Guildford. You can read something of what we have been getting up to on our family news page.
Just to be absolutely clear:
we are not linked with the 
Hazelden Foundation based in the USA. The fact that we share
the same name, and both they and we spend a large amount of time and
energy helping addicts is, as far as we can tell, a complete coincidence.
We hope you find the pages on this site interesting and informative - do let us know what you think.
