​Roland ... 

I was in Royal Signals for 34 years and saw a great deal of travel and a little trouble. On leaving the Army I joined Kodak for eight years.

​After retiring (again) I researched, wrote and had published a book called “The Perambulation - Dartmoor’s Greatest Long Distance Walk” the creation of which over some nine years kept me busy.

As Covid struck, I had decided to take up painting once again, having not lifted a brush since leaving Hele’s School Exeter in 1965. My chosen medium is watercolour.
