I've recently returned from the week long Fire From the Isles Conference, which was held in Jersey.

Please Note: This article could be rather long so I'll publish it now and add more as I go along!!!

Right from even before the conference started it was clear that the enemy really did not want us to be there. We (myself and my 3 children) flew from Dublin to England and to Jersey on the Saturday before it started. Because of the very heavy rain in Ireland that day (and I mean heavier than normal) our flight to London was delayed by nearly 2 hours and consequently we missed our connection to Jersey meaning an overnight sleepover on the floor in the airport and a new flight the next day, which cost us hundreds of pounds extra. So, with very little sleep, all a bit tired and snappy and with less money we were hoping it was all worth it! And it was!!!!!!
