Back from the Karlsruhe Trip

Well, the cold didn't get better for the trip and suffered (as did everyone else) with my sniffles and coughs - SORRY MARK!

The actual conference was excellent and there was a real feeling the we were final begining to get towards the "inner core". The evening entertainment laid on for us was outstanding and a unforgettable evening.

The journey home was also completely unforgettable (unfortunately). After a dodgy plane and being transferred to another one in the snow, then getting diverted to manchester and a midnight coach trip back to Birmingham, finally got through the door at 0415am (6 hours late!)

This weekend was good, went down to the St Marys church in the village to look at the christmas trees. There are about 50 tress from all the local societies and schools (so Nate and Florence has decorations) it brought a tear to my eye with the community spirit.

We stopped off for a glass of wine in the spread eagle on the way home, then carried on with one our new bottles after the kids went to bed.
