Very sad to hear of  the death of Maurice Stonefrost this morning. He was the father of a close friend and was probably my most influential acquaintance.  He rose through the ranks of local authority finance from Bristol and West Sussex to command the GLC before it was annihilated by Thatcher. He was a trusted advisor to the Labour party and pension funds. He did great deals for these institutions when they were facing hard times. The archives will remember him for these achievements but I will remember him as someone who managed to rise to the top of the only game worth playing. He built a network of influence and fun that helped and benefited many that never knew his name.
Four and half years on from my last blog entry its time to start again. I've been inspired by friends who are producing great contributions in the public domain. People like Pervez  and  Andrew . I hope to document my experiences as I go through the gears of life, changing from one way of living to another.
