If I was lucky I would see Simon on the train into Leeds, usually on the earlier train than the one I would normally get. It was always such a pleasure to sit and talk on the half hour journey and the short walk up the hill to our respective offices. I smile remembering Simon just getting his nose into a book as I plonked myself down beside him. The book would be closed and returned to his bag and the serious/amusing part of the day would begin as we tried to put the world to rights. We never had enough time but boy we tried. I always had a bounce and a determination in my step as we went our separate ways. It was always a happy way to start the day. Thank you Simon . Fiona X
