For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Mothers Day or Mothering Sunday?

For Americans living in the UK, there's a need to think ahead ... for Mothering Sunday in the UK is celebrated in March (so cards on sale from mid January!) and in the USA, Mother's Day is in early May. You'll get some very odd looks if you walk into a card shop just after Easter here in England and ask for a Mother's Day card ... and you'll need to be very lucky to find one accessible in the "try and sell it next year" draw.

Adding dates to our diary (here and here), I came across a page on a site that I've often found before - Woodlands Junior School in Kent - explaining the UK's mothering Sunday and who it's the middle Sunday of Lent (See here) whereas the USA version isn't based on the date or Easter, which is a study in itself!

The UK / European "Mothering Sunday" dates until 2016 are listed at present here and "Mother's Day" around the world - from Greece on 2nd Feb to 22nd Dec in Indonesia - here
