The Road Taken

<p>David Brelsford is a shameless dog lover as is evident in many of his short stories. He is currently the joint owner (with his wife) of a gentle springer spaniel but has fantasies of one day owning a Bernese mountain dog. He has undertaken charity runs to raise funds for motor neurone disease but at 81 his running days are over. He now contents himself with being a mad keen square dancer. He has three sons and four lovely grandchildren. He also loves classical music and does part-time work for the homeless.</p>
