While searching the internet for the poem today, I came across a nice reading of it by Sean Connery and thought I would share it.

Thank you Garrie - always good to listen to this.

What is your news? Are you still travelling and will we see you back in Wimbledon some time?

I hope all is well - best wishes, Mark

Hello everyone!

I arrived back in London at the end of April. Since then I've been busy looking for a new job which I have now found in North London working for Barnet College in their IT department. If all goes well with CRB checks and references I should start in July.

I'm also busy putting my photos together and should have them online soon, but then I've been saying that for some time!

Unfortnately I'm not going to make it to the class this Thursday as I'll be away visitng a friend in Frankfurt.

Take care,

Garrie
