I hope this is OK to post here. I very rarely post personal stuff, but feel I must do so in this case. .......
Sometimes you get news that really knocks you back on your heels & puts all the other silly stuff in your life into perspective.
I heard yesterday that a friend, and colleague for many years, has died after a tragic & horrific accident whilst on a cycling holiday in the Haute-Pyrenees in France.
Jennifer was a wonderful person; one of the most caring, compassionate & intelligent women I've ever known. I worked with her for over 12 years: she was my boss, my mentor & my guide, through all kinds of career & personal challenges. She made me a better person. She made a huge difference to the lives of many thousands of children & young people, and improved educational standards wherever she worked. The world is truly a worse place without her.
She was also funny, mischievous & had a wonderful sense of humour. And boy, was she clever. I will miss her.
Her family have had more than their share of tragedies in the past and this all seems just so unfair. I feel tremendously sad for her husband & two daughters.
Tributes are pouring in and I just wanted to add mine. Here are links to news reports:
