Well it looks like our champs are dropping like flies. Helen disappeared a couple of weeks ago and despite my trying to contact her several times, I’ve heard nothing from her. I hope she is okay. Neil on the other hand has had to pull out with shin splints – a crying shame. I got [...]

I know it’s been a while since I posted, but it’s been quite a week… There’s a quote by a member of one of my favourite bands that has always stuck in my mind since I was in my teens. When Joy Division singer Ian Curtis committed suicide, drummer Stephen Morris said: “In the evening [...]
