Lenny on board Bluenote

After a hard day at the office, I quite fancied taking myself for a chug down the Trent and Mersey with Charlie. This would have been great - being my maiden voyage ... However I left it a tad late ... and had to settle for a Titanic pose instead!

"I'm the KING OF THE WORLD!!!"

Jean brings Lenny to Matlock Bath

Lenny spent a lovely sunny Sunday evening in Matlock Bath. Having visited the amusement arcade and lost all his money, he then wanted to cool off in the river. However, because the railings were so high I (Jean) managed to persuade him that eating freshly cooked fish and chips would be a better option. He enjoyed them immensely!

Lenny and Salma visit Warwickshire

Lenny and I (Salma) recently made a trip to the Barceló Walton Hall Hotel in Warwickshire. This was part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) scheme in which I am involved with Nottingham Trent University and LINK Associates International.

Lenny was pleased to be part of the week long KTP residential course. It was our first opportunity to meet other KTP associates. I have to admit, I was dreading it a little bit being sent all the way to Warwickshire with a load of strangers for a week. I was expecting it to be a bit like Big Brother, minus the cameras (except for the Presentations Skills bit!).

In actual fact I met some really great people, had loads of fun, ate a ridiculous amount of food, and of course learned a lot about management! Lenny and I were able to bond and share our initial experiences with the other associates and this also allowed everyone to talk about their personal development and courses that they intend to undertake.

The sun came out on the last day so Lenny decided to sun bathe on the tree!
