We have actually started up a new blog http://www.bookishenglandblog.com – all about books and bookish things. We’re in the process of setting up an online retail business for all things Bookish, and the website for that should be up in a few weeks… in the meantime there’s the blog if you’re into books.

We like the idea of Fromthenear too. We may have to do that!! xx

No more opinions and exploits to amuse over the dark months to come. But it was indeed a grand journey in the same realms of the 18th Century Grand European Tour (except of course, the world has shrunk considerably since then). I look forward to the next time the urge becomes irresistable.

Terminals 1 and 3 now completely full of those hoping to fly out and think they’ve just closed them to any more people getting in. Everyone just lying about sleeping and fighting over basic provisions. It will remind you of Leeds.

If, as and when you do get back let us know if you need picking up. Snow’s still pretty bad so I’ll send Clare… ;)

We are listed for a flight at 08:55 this morning (in about 2 hours time) but waiting to see if we get on, and whether the flight takes off. If we can’t get on that we will need to hang around in the airport until we can get on something… Fingers firmly crossed.

Still hoping to make it to your christmas eve dinner!!!
