I am sitting on a plane, flying back from the UK. It was a very short visit. I left on the 19th and I am flying back today, the 26th. Because of connections in the UK from my dim distant past, I was lucky enough to be invited to join Canadian company

No flies on you, EC!

It took them a couple of weeks to get around to it, but the good folks at EC have been in touch to let me know that, not only do they all have vital signs, but they abide by the motto ‘life is more than just surviving’. If you haven’

Being Creative

Being creative has been the name of the game for training over the last little bit. We have to keep tricking Vitall for his 1 tempi’s because he is getting so excited and hot off my leg. If I even touch him he is ready to go and prett
