After leaving Luke’s Chris taught for a number of years, eventually becoming headteacher of a school in Hampshire. His wife Della died on 19th July 2005 after 11 years of living with cancer. He resigned as a headteacher in 2006.

Their three children have all now flown the nest, but have added to the family with three grandchildren and twins on the way later in October (2011).

Chris remarried in 2007 to Melanie, a school library manager, and added three stepchildren to the gathering.

Whilst he has retired and has taken a pension, he is still finding plenty to do with a range of jobs in teacher training, Inclusion and Parent Partnership!

He is enjoying retirement that will mean more time to play with the grandchildren and spend a little more time at his holiday home in Limousin, France.
