Welcome to the new kid on the block

Good to see Andrew signed up to the blog (alright, strictly speaking it's 'sian & andy' but who's counting?). How is it going with you guys? Still looking for your first contribution - we're not expecting the new JK Rowling or anything (0; Have you been affected by all this bizarre weather, I been hearing tales of floods, did they get to you?

Back in the Surrey branch office, we're all whizzing about getting ready for a week in Italy starting Saturday. It's a breakfast time flight so it'll be a antisocially early start that morning. I guess that's all part of the holiday experience. We're staying in Tuscany which we've not been to before and we're all looking forward to it. Hopefully get a few piccies up on our return. We're hoping to get to Pisa and Florence at some point, both of which are fairly close by.

In keeping with our teaching heritage, I will be expecting 500 words from everyone over the coming weeks with working title - What I did on my holidays. Marks will be awarded for spelling, punctuation and layout as well as content!
