A view of Wisbech, will it make Alan homesick?
I made a new Fenny friend via blogsphere this week. He was even born in the same hospital as me.
Alan Drew left our birthplace, Wisbech, the Capital of the Fens, and now teaches and researches physics at a Swiss university.
And ajd (as he is known) has just made an excellent web for the British Conservative Association in Switzerland.
It was his interest in my post about Toastmasters, which described how I joined the Cambridge group to conquer my fear of public speaking, that led to our initial introduction.
I have since encouraged him to take the plunge and join his local group in Lausanne.
I hope Alan will vouch that Fennies don’t all have two heads as a result of centuries of incest, some of us are normal.
But still, what a small world it is in blogsphere….
Update: Alan has posted a stunning pic of the area where he lives so you can check it out and compare the view to Wisbech. I can understand why he doesn’t want to return to the Fens in a rush.
