Last night, we visited family near Bristol, and stopped in Bath for a quick bite on the way home. The City was rapidly emptying as everyone headed out for Christmas, but we found Nando's in the cinema complex open and a great meal was had by all.
"I hope you don't mind me bothering you, but I came on one of your Perl courses 5 years ago". It's Tony, who also (if my information is right) came to learn Java with us too ... recalling the thanksgiving dinner we had one evening during the course and telling me how he remembered his time with us. Tony - I'm delighted you 'bothered us'; always good to meet up again with someone I've had the pleasure of teaching, great to know that you have great memories of the course. You really made my evening. "Come as a student, leave as a friend" say our coffee mugs.
What a great start to Christmas - an evening with family and friends.
