Did it!

I've spent the last three years occasionally bemoaning the fact that, due to very obvious covid-related reasons, I missed out in my year as Master of the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants on an opportunity to abseil down the Lloyd's Building. I've since learnt that the distance from the top of the abseiling platform to the ground level is approximately 65m. That's 215 feet and a LOT higher than the boat masts I have been known to scale. Plus I'm three years closer to my dotage. So I greeted a kind invitation from the current Master of the Company to belatedly take up the challenge this year, with a mixture of joy and horror. I can fulfil my wish -joy! It's 215 ft down to the ground -horror!

However, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to raise funds for The Lord Mayor's Appeal and its three charity partners National Numeracy, MQ Mental Health Research and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

I would be extremely grateful for any support you feel able to give to these worthwhile causes.
