Here we are in May and spring has sprung. The grass is growing and the garden centres are open. My favorite shopping.
This got me thinking about time and I found this quote. “Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend”.
Having heard from some during our meetings I am amazed how well you are all spending your time and I like to hear more during “Who am I” time or in casual conversations. I hope to see you all on Tuesday.

- Do you have a story about a fascinating project, or place you visited when you were working?
- Did you enjoy a super holiday experience somewhere (in the last 15 years) - that others would like to hear about?
- Do you have a weird or wonderful hobby that keeps you feeling young.
