[sailing anyone?]

My lucky brother (the one on the right) has just gone and done something I've always wanted to do - learn to sail. Granted, he's just begun, but it looks like such fun. Perhaps somewhere near my new cottage abode there's somewhere to learn...which won't break the bank. Check out the great backdrop:

Hi Howard,

That's great that your dad is into sailing and super great if he shares his knowledge with you. Sailing around the mediterraneo would be glorious! Lucky you!!

Wow - what a backdrop. And I see he's chosen the perfect boat. (But I'm biased.) If you live in Oadby and want to learn to sail, check out Rutland Sailing Club. I used to sail there before I moved to the US and can strongly recommend it.

I just want to make the point that we were forced to capsize, because they wouldn't certify us without knowing how to right the dingy. We don't suck that much!

Tillerman, great nic by the way!
Thanks for the suggestion. While I have moved from Oadby to Hindhead, I'm still up in Leicester quite frequently as that's where I'm researching my ph.d and doing some lecturing etc...I've been to Rutland Water and it's really picturesque. I'll certainly check out their sailing club...budget permitting. ;)
