I began writing for the Oxford Times, in 1998, and every month since have written the antiques pages of their Oxfordshire Limited Edition magazine. In 2008, I embarked on a mission to maroon remarkable people on a desert island. I asked them to choose an antique, work of art or book to take with them. Since our interpretation of antique was flexible some intriguing items were chosen. After six months, the antique became object and the features focused on the lives of the castaways. In Feb 2012, I shall have sent my fiftieth castaway to the island of Oxtopia - so we have combined the 50 interviews into a beautifully illustrated book called Oxford Castaways. (See Books for orders) In the castaways category, you can find a list of the fifty fascinating interviewees.
