    Glad you enjoyed London. It can be tiring just getting from A to B in London. But what a city!  :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

  • I am pleased to report that the family situation has been sorted out in court and the last 6 months are hopefully banished from my mind . I may sleep tonight, as attending court has had me up for nights on end. 
    Back to work tomorrow and hopefully some normality.

    I thought of you as I passed through some stations as I think you may have been behind the scenes at a few of them.
