Ich bin ein Berliner

I returned yesterday from a final wrap up meeting for our project in Berlin. Unusually, partially because this was the last meeting, we had time for some organised activities. I was really impressed with Berlin as a city, it’s got a fascinating history, both ancient and through to more

Where the Wombles live

We went to Wimbledon Common on Saturday, partly because I had gone there during the week and wanted to show Tim and the kids, and partly because they were holding their annual village fun fair. The suburb of Wimbledon was starting to look ready for the tennis – they had laid
