I've been trying to find a suitable picture to put on my new masthead, which is coming along very, very slowly. (I hope to get some tips from Jackie D tomorrow.) This one is much too gloomy, but I like the way the sky merges into the sea. A grey, freezing New Year's Day 2005. We were driving home from a weekend in Lille and decided to take a detour to Dunkirk. The three sons are playing football in the background. (They never miss an opportunity.)
