Stephen Lowe Watson is a British Zoology graduate and software expert. Born in London, he has spent most of his life in Sussex and lives in Lewes with his wife and two sons. He is passionate about nature conservation, and knows nowhere closer to heaven than a bluebell wood in spring, or the crest of the South Downs among orchids and wild thyme with skylarks pouring their hearts out from above and blue butterflies all around. But the family's dogs, adopted from a local rescue centre, make sure he gets out in any weather. He loves traditional music and old time Music Hall songs, plays concertina, and celebrates the seasons through local traditions.
