Phew!
I’m home from the 2009 Eco-Rally and oh, what a gig it was.

Morning all!
Yes, I know, long time no natter, well, I’ve been up to my ears talking rubbish!

I’m back in the saddle after spending 3 days up ‘in the smoke’ (that’s London to you missus) attending www.ukaware.com.
I was helping Dave Hampton (the Carbon Coach) to host the speaker panels that were on Friday and Saturday and sat on a panel too on Saturday afternoon.
