    as the wise buddhist once said ” Whatever’s clever trevor”. 

    Absolutely… we could use a fresh take on these interviews, and I think the language garden approach would do just that !!!   Merci dude !

    Hi Leahn :)

    Thanks so much…  a great PLN member, Dave Dodgson has made a scoopit page for the interviews, so I’ve stopped updating them here.  I think it’s a more dynamic format and the images give a bit more to each story.
