Team Mighty Morphin' Flower Arrangers

The epitome of the eccentric English gentleman, with a penchant for fine Whiskey and a talent for crayon pictures. Richard spends most of his time outdoors and has an irrational love of mad-cap adventure sports and travelling. Way back in July 2015, Richard decided that it was about time he became a proper adult, and so he bought his first house as a little bit of a renovation project. Just six months later, after removing the kitchen, the bathroom, the ceilings, some of the floors and with the house no longer having either electric or running water, Richard decided that he’d had enough of adulting and would much rather be off adventuring again … and so this shell of a house is basically now just a very expensive Mongol Rally kit store.

Team leader, professional amateur, Lego master builder, chief colouring in-erer and level 27 finger painter.
