How do folks? Hope you are all well.

15 years have passed since I first signed up on the brew cabin. I see there's still a few names of old still posting away.

So having signed up as keen young lad who eventually got worn down during employment, then as someone who gave self employed a bloody good go, somewhat successfully then ultimately packing it all in and changing careers - I went driving wagons up and down the country. Then again changing careers last year, still up and down the country but back in amongst a site setting.

Just been doing a few hard landscaping jobs while we are in a wee quiet spell got me thinking I better check in on here and see what's fresh.

Hope you are all well during this peculiar time.

Stuart.

After being away from it for so long it's nice to do a bit again, although I have noticed I've got less hair, more belly and nowhere near as fit as I was!

The new career is in lightning protection and earthing systems, so finding some of the practical skills are easily transferrable when on the tools. The desk side of it is a bit more of a challenge!
