I am now back in Rugby after the most fantastic holiday. 2007 was always going to be a special year, and I took more than the usual two weeks for the first time since I set up my business 25 years ago. We visited Hong Kong on the way over to Australia, visited Caloundra which is a small holiday town about 50 miles of Brisbane, Fraser Island, Cairns, Ayers Rock (now known as Uluru) and the past week in Sydney. We saw many sights and took in many new experiences but importantly for me this was an opportunity to spend time with my family. It looks as though the next few weeks are going to be pretty busy and so it was great for us to be able to spend time together.
I had hoped to be able to blog while on holiday using public computers in libraries and internet cafes. That idea didn’t come off mainly because each time I logged on the best I could do was keep up to date with what was going on at home by looking at sites such as ConservateHome and Iain Dale; looking at the on line editions of national & local newspapers; wading through my inbox, often only getting rid of the junk mail before either my time was up or Sara would be tugging at my arm saying “Dad, can we go back now? ”. However, I did see the way the Australians go about many aspects of Government, some good & some bad, & hope to refer to them as I post over coming months on various subjects.
Now it’s straight back into local issues, with none more important than the threat to our local hospital here in Rugby, St Cross. More later!
