Day 1: March 27, 2014
Having just got home yesterday, I take my dog Ceri for a walk around Attenborough Nature Reserve just behind my home. The reed beds and lakes are very beautiful at this time of year, riotous with birdsong. Afterwards, I print up my paperwork, then stroll into the local town of Beeston for a hearty lunch of chicken tikka masala, then head home and greet my wife Helen returning from work. She and Ceri walk me to the train station and see me off as I head towards Derby and then into London, staying the night in Hounslow, close to Heathrow Airport.
