A Friendly farewell - preview
Nick Bagnall has left Claridge House for New Zealand
It's not easy to give up a job that you have been thoroughly enjoying, but sometimes an opportunity may arise that one feels cannot be missed That's what happened to me this winter
I have been unusually blessed in my working life I have actually found a high level of enjoyment in every one of the ten full-time jobs I've had since I left university This last one has, however, been the most rewarding I pass it on with gratitude and blessings to Alison Green, my worthy successor
As first the warden, then title changed to manager, at Claridge House, I had really found a job that suited me completely My two decades in building have come in handy for maintaining and up-dating this lovely Victorian house Its wonderfully spacious bedrooms will be somewhat more cramped if they ever all get converted to en-suite That was a project about which I was enthusiastic when I arrived, but have become much less so over the years
