Now that I am retired I have been faffing around wondering what to do with myself. It has taken some time to make a decision as to my future endeavours and the answer is – quite a lot!

Most importantly I have been engaged to write a Masonic Educational Program that will provide the basic understanding of what Freemasonry ‘is’ and the program will attempt to deliver that in full. The difficulty is in providing a basic understanding of what Freemasonry is’, it’s fundamental morals, ethos and precepts.

Those ‘fundamentals’ were to be transmitted via Masonic ritual and many of you will know that one of my abiding interests has been to translate, transcribe and understand the earliest Masonic rituals, all of which are of Scottish origin.
