Happy New Year 2014.

It's been a tough festive season as Chester and Lottie will attest. They're looking forward to everyone going back to work so they can get a decents day's sleep.

RJD attended the fourth Zing Conference on Coordination Chemistry held in beautiful Xcaret (just south of Cancun, Mexico and yes, the weather was beautiful).

To celebrate Derek's appointment being made permanent and the coming Christmas festivities, we adjourned to the Queen and Castle, Kenilworth, for some festive cheer.
