HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
It is just over a month since returning from Uganda and it is still
all so fresh in my mind. It has been hard to settle back to work and
I think this is why I have been late in getting a newsletter out to
you and in getting all the new courses on line. I do apologies to those
of you that have been waiting. Still I am here now and raring to go
with what is a very exciting year ahead of me. Uganda however, continues
to beckon and I am very much hoping to build in a return trip into this
years already very busy schedule.......but it will be worth it!!!!!.............yes
children we will be back.
Anyway lets get working again and I will start with the courses and
then I have some other news to share with you.
