The end of the summer!

The summer seems to have flown by once again. I have just returned from two great weeks on the Greek Island of Skiathos. Great beaches and tavernas with lots of opportunities to get out on the water. One of my daughters even talked me into parasailing for the first time and here is the evidence.

It was also strange that for the first time for seven years I have been able to go on holiday without picking up my council e mails on a daily basis!

In the meantime the new Administration at Southend Council have had the opportunity to get their feet under the table so I am looking forward to seeing how they rise to the challenge over the next six months.
