CRIKEY!! She's back!

Now I can't even begin to imagine the dreadful loss you have all been feeling over the past few months without me, but I would like to say that I am back on terra firma, at least, the soil of Old Blighty, and will soon be putting finger to keypad, in order to update you all with the events of the past 3-4 months.

I beg your forgiveness for my slack nature and terrible tardiness in filling a little more of cyberspace with my verbal diarrhoea and plethora of photographs - I should never have been given a camera as a child - but for those of you with more time on your hands than sense, I promise that within the week (software allowing), I will have posted at least a dozen photos and a "summary" - have you ever known me to be brief? - The last few months... that's a disappearing act, not an act of brevity!

And just a quickie, (who mentioned brevity?) "Hello to everyone I met or saw again over the past 12 weeks", especially to Ma and Darren - cheers for your Kiwi "hospitality" - much appreciated, also to Tim, good to see you again - hope you and Aaron make it over to Pommyland soon. And finally to Anna and Mulan, loved Tokyo sooo much - even the absolute soaking we got on the way to the airport - nothing like a warm shower early in the morning - cheers for having us!
