Having been at Sandford Springs for the past 8 or so years moving to a new job was always going to take a little bit of adjustment. Being the new boy again is quite nice......other than forgetting people's names which is always awkward. I am looking forward to the challenges that this big change will …

Search for the cause not the result!
