I have just finished nearly 8 weeks of work at York - some tidying up to do. It has been such a gratifying assignment that has exposed me to a wonderful group of people and to a profound problem of how to create a "customer" experience in a complex social environment of 50,000 students has been an unusual beginning to the year.
The only drawback has been all the travel and the time away from home. The paradoxical benefit has been that I have stayed with my sister Diana. After so many years, the two of us have got connected again as we were as children. Diana and I grew up in a Edwardian household. I do not recall meeting my father until I was 7. My mother would have lunch with us on Thursday, Nanny's day off. So Diana and I were all that we had and became so close that we could arrange to meet in our dreams. 8 weeks with her has been a joy for us both.
Maybe if we are alone as oldies we will end up together again as we were at the beginning of our lives.
Here she is
