For the moment at least I feel at
ease with the world. Don’t get me wrong
I’m still living a very strange and alien existence, which at times is very
difficult to come to terms with. However,
I have an aura of calmness, which in itself is strange. I’m trying to push me and the kids forward
and am prepared to accept that some days we will take a step back.

Keeping busy and looking forward
to future events is a huge help. Working
freelance is keeping me busy and I am really enjoying the diversity of the job. Not sure if I’m being that productive or just
being a “busy fool”. Nonetheless it’s
given me a focus, a chance to meet new people and help people develop their
businesses. In fact working in the small
and medium enterprise sector is like being in “middle earth” with many
wonderful people and “communities”. I
have to sat I haven’t met the Hobbit yet!
Additionally, I have my British
Lions tour of Australia with Tony. I
think I may have mentioned my trip to Australia one or two dozen times. This will be a holiday of a lifetime and I
cannot wait to get on the aeroplane.
Also booked to go to Gran Canaria with the kids, Rich and Cher for the
New Year.
Then there are the three bike charity
rides to organize which allows me to give something back to St Peters
Hospice. The first of the rides is Cardiff
to Bristol on 13th April.
Quite a number of people have volunteered to ride plus supporters to see
us off in Cardiff and a welcoming reception in Bristol. In the evening we will follow up with a night
of Karaoke at Shanghai Knights, Nelson Street to celebrate my birthday the
following day. Everyone is welcomed just
let me know and I will give you the details.
At the end of May Neil and I will
be completing a stage of the Tour De France:
Cambridge to London. It must be
the flattest stage ever. In fairness we
are then riding from London to Bristol the following day. Again anyone who wants to join just let me
know. Finally, my brother Andrew and I
will be riding across the Outer Hebrides as you do!
So there is plenty to look
forward to and fun to be had. I can’t
help but wonder, with some sadness, what might have been and what we would be
doing if life had been kinder. What I do
know is that Caroline would want us all to get on with our lives and I cant
help but think that she is still marshalling us now.
So yeah I am at ease for the time
being and will enjoy the feeling for as long as I can. You never know when the switch will flick the
other way.
