I feel that at weekends I am allowed the occasional digression completely away from geography. On Saturday I was driving up to Hitchin and listening to Dermot O'Leary on Radio 2. In his 'maudlin music' slot he played Rufus Wainwright's version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. It is just such an amazing song.
I don't know how to embed You Tube videos into a blog, so I just give you the URL for the original version by Leonard Cohen. Stop what you are doing, click below, and just listen -

About Me
- Alan
- New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom
- I am the Chief Operating Officer and also the Head of Finance at the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in London. I know about Finance. I don't know so much about Geography - I came here from the world of the Arts. But I think it is important that the finance guy in any organisation knows a bit about what that organisation does, and why. I have had no formal education in the world of geography but am developing an interest in the issues facing geographers and the benefits which geography can bring in so many walks of life. I need to learn more about geography and the current issues in GI. This blog will follow my process of education and record my reactions to a wide range of events all relating to geography in its widest sense. I hope visitors will find the blog to be of interest. Be prepared to follow me through my learning curve. It may be a bumpy ride!
