Contact me:

My mobile number is 07866 766364. You’re welcome to call but I’d prefer you to send me an SMS text message please. If I’m fixing a boiler, driving, eating, sleeping, in the pub, or simply have the phone on silent (i.e. most of the time) you’re likely to get my voicemail - which also asks you to send me a text! By all means leave me a voice message but I see text messages more quickly. They are quick to read, quick to answer and a written history develops of all we have discussed. Thank you.

Phone calls:

I don’t generally answer the phone unless your number is already in my phone memory as I get so many junk calls, but you’re welcome to leave me a voicemail. I don’t always respond as quickly as I do to text messages as I need to listen and write down what you said, then call you back when I’m not fixing a boiler, driving, or doing a hundred other things… And I’m highly likely to respond by text message anyway :) 

Email:

I have an email address but I no longer publish it as even genuine emails from new people tend to get mis-labelled as spam or junk these days, leading to me missing them. If you need to use email in particular, text me to ask for my email address and I’ll look out for your incoming email. Thank you. 

WhatsApp:

I can be found on WhatsApp too, where you can also send me photos or images free of charge. I don’t log into WhatsApp quite so often as SMS text though so I may not see your message quite so quickly. But I will see it at some point in the day. If you try to call me using WhatsApp I won’t answer the call unless my phone recognises your number.

Finally, People sometimes contact me to ask where I am. I live in the village of Great Bedwyn, roughly half way between Hungerford Berkshire and Marlborough Wiltshire. 

So to give you a feel for the distances I’m happy to travel, I’m within reasonable reach of the M4 for anywhere between Bristol and west London, the A34 from Banbury and Oxford to Winchester, and the M3 from Sunbury to the south coast. But if you’re not sure, feel free to ask me!
