A Lad from Featherstone: Richmond, London, United Kingdom; Colin is dyslexic and that is ok. Lambo his alter ego, is a Viking; beaten up, stabbed, and abused all befor 9. Family staic van in Bridlington created a love of Brid & the Ocean. Called bungalow, 'nowt up top' and Link, 'the missing one', his nicknames at Loughborough. England rugby age 14 to 23, Harlequins record try scorer, sports car and London life. All ended in Montreal, in a lift at 2am, his dream was shattered. Back to school, FRICS, Lamberts Chartered Surveyors, RYA Ocean Instructor, Atlantic crossings, Psychotherapy and Mediation training. By fifty had everything, wife, children, business, and yacht. To the world, he radiated love, passion and adventure. On the inside, a broken man. Quit everything, embarked on his 'spiritual' journey (tantra & fetish), five operations, addicted to anything that stopped him facing his shit. Divorce in 2015, lost 40lb, started writing, radio presenter and remarried. His new wife of two years, Sheila, died Feb 2020. Arrested four days later, by ex-wife and children, for writing this story. Released, a free man, 10 hours later. If sharing this story helps one man, it’s job done.
