Fatherhood !

As I left home at the crack of dawn for another consultation event last Thusday (this time we were at Newmarket Racecourse) my seven year old son declared that he hated me!

On further investigation this was because “you don’t play with me anymore”. Don’t kids have a great way of making you feel really good about yourself!

At least on Saturday we had the opportunity to go ice skating together, courtesy of the Somerset House Trust who had been doing some excellent work to enable disadvantaged children to enjoy their fabulous ice rink through the Christmas period. By Thursday Wanless Jnr may be back to feeling the same way about me but, at least for now – thanks Gwyn and Liz – having a Dad at the Big Lottery Fund is not so bad after all!
