Back to the cold and wet

As some of you have no doubt realised, I have not been around much over the last month or so.

In the aftermath of my father's funeral, my wife and I took a long holiday ... to the Caribbean and back! We got back yesterday ... having missed the warmest day of the year so far in the UK ... and we are both suffering from heavy colds, the result – no doubt – of the damp and fog we sailed though for the last few days of our cruise.

I will be writing several long blog entries about what we saw and did whilst we were away, and these will be appearing over the next week or so. In the meantime I have a mountain of paperwork to do (Corporation Tax and VAT returns, for example) before I can do anything else.
