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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Autumn walk from Bowerhill

The Autumn season ... and the leaves are changing from green to a rich variety of yellows, oranges and browns, and falling from the trees. A walk yesterday (great to get out for just an hour or two) took Gypsy and me across the fields from Brabazon Way on Bowerhill, through Freddie's Wood (Shown as Giles Wood on the OS map) down to ...


... the Kennet and Avon Canal. Through here, between Semington and Seend locks, the canal is following the course of Semington Brook, with swing bridges at intervals to allow tracks and paths to cross. Seend village is visible in the distance, and should you wish you can walk and cycle for miles beside the water.


The wood is one of our favourite walks ... with such a huge selection of trees, native and imported, that makes it Melksham's own mini-arboreteum. Amid the autumn colours are other flashes of bright berries, and we're free to wander in the wood even off the public footpath that passes through it.
