    Alan Riches

    I am Alan Riches born in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. February 1959 I left school in 1975 with limited educational achievements. I joined the Royal Navy straight from school and served her majesty for 23 years. I left the Royal Navy in 1999 and now work in the water industry. Unfortunately I have been divorced on two occasions but have three children from my first marriage and I am the proud father of three lovely now grown up children  Stefanie , Garry and Daniel and at present two lovely grandsons Ben and Leo both 7 years old (A third a granddaughter due to be born at the end of November.) I live at present in the little Naval town of Gosport England with my long time partner Susan. I have always had a vision to tell a good story ( Or so I am told and my grandson Leo would constantly ask me for a story) I have many unfinished manuscripts in my head that may or may not get finished one day. I want to put my story into a book for my two grandsons for their children as a momento from their grandfather.

      Two Canoes And Miles Of Water

      Jul 1, 2020

      I SAT DOWN at the side of the trail, wiping sweat from my brow. A mosquito buzzed near my ear, and I swatted it away. Another landed on my arm. I slapped it, leaving a smear of bug innards. I sighed. This was not how I had wanted to spend my summer.
