Blog off!

This blog is rolling up its trousers, fashioning a newspaper hat and taking itself off to the seaside for a week.

I shall try to do emails and stuff but I’ll be on a dongle and it’s a painfully slow connection on the island of dreams — they don’t want our chatter to interfere with that of the mariners who ply our waters with their cargoes of spices, apes, gold moidores, etc.

Have a great week!
