Appreciate the comments re: weather, I know only too well how useless the British weather can be. (having to traspe to the City every day with my trusty umbrella !!)
But hey, it may surprise us and if I can get a couple of lessons in the winter months it's all good practice for the glorious summer which I'm sure we all hope we have.
One's thing for sure I will probably never pay so much attention to Francis Wilson or Ian Magaskill than I will next year !!

Simon
PS: You have now got me thinking of part learning abroad where the weather is somewhat better, any excuse for a holiday !!!!
