With three children and a six-bedroomed mansion in Colombia to while away any spare time, Nutkins is certainly enjoying life. Recent rumours of a collaboration with Middlesbrough born chemist and fellow of Pembroke College Cambridge Martin Derewyn Smith on methods of further protection for the Monteray Speel are not yet confirmed."
