I still very much enjoy reading TimePiece magazine and keeping up to date with what you are all up to and what\u2019s happening in the exciting world of horology.<\/p><p>I hope you have all managed to keep your jobs and your business afloat during the past two years. It was a difficult time for me and the band as all our concerts and live performances were cancelled. However, as I write this, I\u2019m happy to report that we have just completed most of our Autumn shows and hopefully the 2022 touring schedule will be as near to normal as possible, with performances booked in both in the UK and overseas.<\/p><p>Despite it being a terrible two years for everyone, I have used all the extra time off to very good use. One of the highlights for me was becoming a Grandfather, to my daughter Mabel\u2019s baby son. Other things I have enjoyed doing during the enforced hiatus have been spending time working on my model railway layout and keeping the garden tidy. I hope you have found plenty to keep you occupied although I am sure for many of you it has offered a chance to catch up on any backlog of work \u2013 so I suppose for every cloud there is <br \/>always a silver lining.<\/p><p>Anyway I will sign off now by raising a glass to you all and by reminding you to remember to \u2013 Enjoy yourself, as it\u2019s later than you think!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-944638a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"944638a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u2018Enjoy yourself \u2013 it\u2019s later \nthan you think!\u2019<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well here we are again at the start of another new year \u2013 one which will hopefully be kinder to us all as this dreadful virus at last seems to be receding and things are slowly getting back to normal. \u00a0 Firstly, as always, I would like to wish all Guild members a very happy, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1349"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1354,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349\/revisions\/1354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bwcmg.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
