Sorry it’s been a little quiet around here for the last few days, after Christmas with my family we stopped at a hotel on the way back to Loughborough, and then I had to go straight back to work the next day! Today has been mostly [...]

“Let’s wait and see, it may just be the perfect year”

2008 has been a very mixed year. It started off difficult, but with great potential – I had fallen behind a little with my degree but was determined to do better this year and pull up my grades. I did, but at the expense of [...]
