I’m writing my first blog post on my new MacBook! It was delivered the other day and I’ve been spending some time adjusting to the Apple way of doing things. Pictures will follow shortly as soon as the initial excitement subsides and I get a chance to take them!

I was working in Southport the other day. Though I was prepared for it to be a fairly grim place, I was surprised by the high quality of the recreational facilities!!!
