Going Somewhere…?
Az is, that’s for sure, and it’s lookin’ great so far. Maybe I should up stumps too. The “new blog” concept is giving me ideas…in all kinds of ways.

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas
Well, the white christmas may not work out, because it doesn’t always snow in Dec/Jan, I know that. But the fact remains that I am going to be in the UK from just before Christmas until the end of January, so all my UK co-conspirators, colleagues and cronies, look out because I may lob on…
