We have just registered ‘Vidal Short’ as the trademark name for the new salon we plan to open on our return to UK.   Not content with mastering the skills of a marine engineer, James has now turned his hand to hairdressing!   Until now, Claire has always managed to find someone ‘professional’ to trim her locks but today she threw caution to the wind and James began his apprenticeship.   The burning question is, will it take him as long to qualify as a hairdresser as it did for him to get the hand of stripping down an outboard engine?   The attached photo probably says it all!  Didn't stop us going out to 'Iguana' for a bit of a 'knees up' though!
