So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!

A few weeks ago, I took my parents to see the stage version of The Sound of Music in Chichester. This is not necessarily my thing, but it has become something of a tradition now that, each Christmas, we look at what is coming along at the local theatres and book a day out in the summer. For those within driving distance of Chichester, I would thoroughly recommend paying the Festival Theatre a visit. You may be wondering what this has got to do with optics but please bear with me.  

There are three reasons why I mention this. The first is that this is my final column as Mentoris and so, after today, it is indeed ‘so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!’ from me as Optician shakes things up and brings in another columnist for your enjoyment.
