My summer as a man of leisure…
I left my last role in the middle of July, coinciding with the beginning of the summer holidays. My wife is an assistant teacher, and suggested that I take the summer off to fully recharge, and I’m so glad I did.
I’ve seen the sun rise over the Suffolk coast, watched the sun set over Lizard Point in Cornwall, I’ve visited Paris with my daughter, London with my son, and had just the most fantastic and relaxing summer.

But now, summer’s over, my wife has returned to work, and I’m ready for my next challenge.
If this is what I’m doing now, what was I doing then?
