Change has been a constant companion throughout my life.

I often have flashes of common sense when I least expect it. This time prompted by walking home in the dark, from yet another meeting in town.

I’ve been doing something new, which I realise is all too rare.

It’s not every day that I meet someone so familiar with my latest book, that they remember my name.

A 48 mile bike ride at the weekend reassured me that while I might now be 70 years old, I am not yet old!
