When I was in Year 9 at school (which would put me between 13 to 14 years old), the Head of Year held an end of Year assembly. The Head of Year was (and still is. RIP Mr K), a local legend. A giant of a rugby player who’d suffered damage to his larynx so…

Review of 2017
In this post: repeated mentions of moving house and health. I’m afraid it’s not a terribly exciting review. What did you do in 2017 that you’d never done before? Moved into a house that I helped buy. A little patch of hillside swamp, all of my very own. Did you keep your 2017 new years’…
