Well, i’ve just got back into my hotel room, and even though i’m running on pure adrenalin (only had a couple of hours sleep!) I wanted to update you on my travels before I crawled back into bed for a few hours extra kip! It’s been a busy month for me on the whole – I was in Seattle for the CHA board meeting at the beginning of the month, then Cleveland for meetings, then I was over in Germany for HSE shows, nipped over to France last weekend, and now here I am in Tampa (Florida) for a couple...

It's the first time i've been, and I must say it feels quite 'European' (that's probably the dodgy weather making me think that!).
