wheeeeeeee
While on holiday last week we went as a family to Alton Towers. Sally enjoyed a more sedate time than the rest of us, but she was happy ‘pootling’ around, holding bags and not being thrown around, turned upside down and facing near death experiences.

why?
I was on a train a while ago with a number of different passengers. I suspect that we were all riveted by two of our travelling companions. There was a small child and his mum. The child was looking out of the window and asking his mum questions about what he saw: “Why is that…

holidays are coming….
As we approach August and holidays I am anticipating that these blog entries will become more intermittent than at present. You may be pleased at that thought – you will have less corny jokes to groan at and will be able to spend a little more time doing other things. Let me offer you one…

what my walls reveal about me
Just a quick thought today. … Did you enjoy that? I have a number of different pictures and items on the walls around my study. I have a painting of Timisoara (Romania) that was given to me by all my friends in the EBF Youth and Children’s Committee when I left my role as Chair.…
