Happy Holidays, Marcus --
I plan to attend the meeting on January 14. It will be very interesting for me, as a relative newcomer to the UK.
As a gerontologist/designer, I think the same could be done for older people as is suggested for children in item number 2. What do you think? How is the research project going with Vanaj?
I look forward to seeing you on the 14th and wish you a Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year...
