New Starts

Well it's the last day in March, the clocks went forward yesterday and it's very mild outside. I think Spring may be here at last. Time to dust off my shorts soon! And I'm finally feeling better after five days of that bloody virus¹. Meanwhile Beth left MIPS today after 3.5 years² so it's a new start for her, one which she's happy about too so that's good.

Meanwhile it's also a new start for Milton Country Park which, if it all went to plan, was handed over to the Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust today. For new readers I spent the first half of last year helping lead the campaign to save the Park so it's a momentous day for me and the rest of the team.

The work on that's not over by the way, it's not just a new start for the Park, it's also a new start for the Friends of Milton Country Park, and the current plan is to convert the Park web site (which is currently The Hug's) into a site for the Friends and to get as many of the campaign supporters as we can (of which there were 10,000+) to become Friends managing their subscription using the software I've been developing lately for use for purposes such as this.

So a day of new starts. That's the sort of day I like.

1. Still got a bit of a sore throat and cough and my glands are still sore and swollen but I've not felt the need to pop any analgesics since 3:30am and I feel a lot better.
2. They've closed the UK office, making everyone redundant other than a handful who were offered relocation to the States.
