Trip to Arraz, France
Sometimes it's good to take a step out of our normal schedule and appreciate the world we live in. I spent a week in France with Jon Nicholls and the Hampstead Pals on the annual "Battlefield" trip to Arras and visiting the Somme, Arras and even a short trip to Ypres. Quite humbling to see how a generation laid down their lives literally to protect our country and make the air we breath free. Strongly recommend that all of us do at least one trip to Northern France to to see the sheer amount of graves that are there, "A lost generation" is such an accurate description. Great company and an occasional glass of wine for the wine and drinking Bailey's in coffee is an experience especially at 8.00am on a Sunday morning. Big thanks to Jon again for his hospitality and look forward to another visit next year.

Depeche Mode at the O2
What a great gig at the O2 and what a great band, still sounding and looking good after 30 years! Took me right back to my teens. Favourite track of the night was "Enjoy The Silence"
Mark Knopfler at the Albert Hall
Another genius at work and hat a fantastic band. Also support slot was from Ruth Moody watch out for that name she is going to be massive. A two and half hour show at the Albert Hall and even got to hear 'Telegraph Road' live for the first time since 1985. Showing my age far too much!
