The “gigging” year is over
This week saw my final “on my feet” presentations of 2006 and, although public speaking is on my list of unique abilities (things I love to do that generate future profits), there is an internal sigh of relief this morning that I will not be seeing another hotel room until the New Year.

Newcastle to Glasgow
After yesterday’s early morning emails in Newcastle I begin my drive to Glasgow, shooting West across the country via Hexham, along the side of Hadrian’s Wall and then North on the M6 and into Scotland.
