Hello loyal followers. Did you miss us?
I've been away at sea to visit Komodo (there really are dragons there). The downside is that I was out of range of the mobile network and hence no internet. The other downside was that this is the longest time that Amanda and I have been apart for 31 years (honestly - we behaved like a couple of pining teenagers). The upsides are numerous and include my first Manta experience.
On the voyage I met some lovely people including a chap from Manchester called Terry Swinhope who swears he knows Clare & Keith from Twinings [confirmation required]. He and his lovely wife? Tracy would sneak me a stiff G&T to console myself in my lonely cabin.
Back in Sanur Amanda consoles herself by talking to French people.
Normal service now resumed - Rum in one hand, laptop in the other - I'll probably make more sense next time.
'course we missed you xx
ReplyDeleteWell I'm bu@@ered! We do indeed know Terry Swinhoe - we both worked with him on and off at Newcastle. If you are in contact say a cheery "hello" from us.
Small world eh?
