Intuition dwarfs intelligence time and again. The things we can't speak of here at our fingertips.

Thanks to a (wonderful) poet for lending me the words to sum up yesterday.

As Mark pointed out, it was a very moving - emotional - day for many of us, being able to physically - face to face - heart to heart - reconnect with friends and colleagues - comrades in arms - from years ago, and establish new connexions - so many new faces - so many open hearts.

Tony Hurley (Bucks), Roberto Fraquelli (Exeter), Martin Greig (Metropolitan line), Rod Philp (Iowa), Ross Cuneo (Brisbane), Richard Druitt (Puerto Rico), Assi Ben-Porat (Tel Aviv), Simon O'Connor (Mallow), Tony Visconti (New York), Dario Ciriello (Santa Cruz?), Penny Woolf (Oxford), Osman Phillips (Vancouver Island), Richard Dockray (ill in bed) and Verne Crawford (broken femur) sent me apologies for not being able to physically attend and send their love to all.

Thank you very much to John, you and anyone else involved for reconvening the BTTCA and organising the weekend - the ambience, the fantastic samosas and of course the heartwork. Terrified beforehand but very very glad that I went. It reminded me that the human relations bit is at the core of it all, not an adjunct.

Hopefully there will be more weekends like this?
