If the passionate section is more about my personal life, I am most passionate about educating people in my own way about the importance of history and human nature through the lens of history.
As a hobby I do like a good long drive, it enables me to think clearly. I also like to lose myself in fantasy or sci-fi worlds while reading or watching movies”.

Nick along with Sue runs the Laundry here at The Fleet Care Home in Dartmouth.

When Nick isn’t collecting and distributing, he likes to try and find the time to stop and chat with our residents.
