Dear Friends, Readers and erm ...  Countryfolk  

(if you can figure out which country I should be referring to, please let me know)

Thank you all for your messages, emails and calls seeking my whereabouts.  I am touched by your kindness and care.

I apologise for causing concern and/or irritation at my absence. 

I entreat the Muse to sing to me again soon.  All entreaties on my behalf to said Muse, gratefully accepted.  I am tired of being gagged and bound.

I do look forward to catching up with your blogs.

Very best wishes
