About

Hi, I’m Peter Scargill. This is our website and it is the place to get information. Firstly a quick summary: I’m 57, I live generally in the UK with my wife Maureen and 3 cats. We live in Northumberland and I spend much of my time travelling around the country mostly including the delights of Blackpool and London.

I run an IT consultancy specialising in the technology needs of small businesses – including strangely enough websites – but not quick and dirty websites – anyone can do that – I provide a personal service including training and backup with a vast amount of experience at doing this. I am also the National IT Director for the Federation of Small Businesses. Maureen teaches in Hexham Middle School.

We have 2 (adult) offspring and 5 grand-children. We both enjoy cinema and travel and have a small place in Spain – in Andalucía as well as our home in Wark – and now we have a holiday rental cottage in Bellingham – we spend the summer holidays and other breaks in Spain and we keep a separate Spanish blog on that. We’re still trying to get to grips with the language. We both enjoy travel, cinema and visiting friends. Maureen is into reading copious amounts of books (now on her iPad2), I’m currently getting to grips with PHP and MYSQL after a lifetime of using Microsoft programming tools.

AND… a video to show our new place in Bellingham!
