This week we returned from a 10-day visit to Crete. It was the most boring holiday Jayne and I have ever had, but that is not a bad thing. In the past we have rented a car or quad and gone out around the island, visiting the many and varied archaeological sites, but this time […]

As teachers used to say “this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you”. I’m sure nobody wants to read all about my holidays, and I’m not sure I want to write about them but it needs to be done so I can move on, so here are a few thoughts about Crete, […]
Back to normality

Well we are back from Crete and alomost ready to face normality again. Although the holiday was only a couple of weeks it has been a lot longer than that since everything has been normal here. Right up until we went away Jayne was still off work recovering, and before that of course she was […]

Perhaps the scariest thing about the two boys who died on holiday in Greece is that they were doing nothing that any of us has not done. They were not taking part in any sort of risky activity like paragliding or white water rafting. They were just taking a family holiday in a reputable, established […]

The most remarkable thing happened at work today.
