For the past 48 hours or so, the press in the UK has been focussed on the sad passing of Nelson Mandela. It is a testament to him that he made such a huge and positive impact. Not only in South Africa, but around the world. Rest In Peace

Since Spain my most sincere regret this quote from Mr Nelson Mandela left us someone whom I admire in particular and Spain in general leave which I to inspired much by the rights of all, "no one is born hating each other by the color of their skin, their origin or religion. People learn to hate and, if they can learn to hate, they can also learn to love." (From the autobiography "The long road to freedom", 1994)
me and my father in law spoke about him this afternoon and we both agree that he was and will always remain a giant among men. He was a man that we all can use as an example!
