If there is an enduring image I have of my dad, it's him sitting at his desk in his study working. The location of the study may change as we moved house. I have memories of it from Devonport, Meadowbank, Epsom, to the present study at his home in St Heliers. But the desk, the bookshelves and… Continue reading In my Father’s Study
The Real Clark Kent
According to the conversation between my sons, the “real” Clark Kent goes to our church. As an avid Superman fan, my 6 year old was excited to meet and to talk to the “real” Clark Kent. But I’ll let you in on a secret, he’s not the real Clark Kent. He’s a friend who with his… Continue reading The Real Clark Kent

Actually, I think at this point I'd consider having a camel. It might be more reliable than our car. And… Continue reading Getting Job
