The familiar drive back to Watford was very pleasant and almost perfectly clear – lots of people must be taking an extra day or two of leave. Ridiculously, nearly four weeks after suffering with a heavy cold, my health still feels fragile. But like all sensible people, I have kept clear my first few working days of the year so I had a relatively gentle first day back in the office. One of my trustees, the charming and resourceful Ian Stageman, has won agreement from the Watford Observer that they will carry regular features on the voluntary sector. Well done, Ian!
