In England, TEDDINGTON

We are back in Teddington Middlesex, suberbs of London. Our traveling days are on hold for a while - although Colin is feeling rather unsettled and ready for off again. I signed on at the Nanny agency to see what the job situation was like and after two interviews decided to take what I think seems the ideal job. Two children Alex 11 yrs and Georgia 7 yrs I start on Sept 1st. So I will keep you posted.

Colin decided to do a Franz Swanepoel (our son-in-law) - networking which I belieive you call social capital. Amazing but true it secured him a job in Kingston - a little like his old position but this time sony products. So looks like we will be around for a while.

Not sure what we are doing with the house which we rented - it doesn't come available to us until November. We have suggested to the tenants they could stay in longer - although in a way I would like to move back in and enjoy my cottage for a while longer.

We have taken up Mountain cycling which we are enjoying very much - this is after entering a night bike race in South Africa, Karkloof classic. We are thinking of purchasing new cycles and taking it up seriously - you could call it the mid life crisis thing - Could be worse I suppose.
