Over de auteur
Adrian Arnold qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Cambridge
University in 1964. Having served as an assistant in general
practices in Dunstable and Woking he set up his own veterinary
practice in Crawley in 1968. Having created a four-man, two-centre
practice the family decided to move to Colchester in Essex where he
set up another new practice in 1987. Throughout this time he became
a freelance journalist writing for both the local and veterinary
press. In 1989 he became one of the first vets in the country to
computerise his veterinary records and computing has remained a
hobby ever since.
His other hobbies included light aircraft flying, digital
photography, reading and travelling to meet friends and relatives
in Europe, America, Africa and Asia.
Adrian and his wife, Jen, who still sits as a magistrate, have
three children and four grandchildren while they enjoy his
retirement in a small village in the Stour valley.
