Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I'm hoping that's the case.  You see, I'm taking off into the wild blue yonder for several weeks.  If you want to follow my travels, check out A Separate Life over the next month or so.

I didn't want to take a break completely - I'm relatively new to many of my readers and don't want you to go away and forget to come back!  So I've written some posts here and at A Separate Life, and have scheduled them for publishing.  I'll try and pop in and comment when I can get internet access.

But if I can't comment, read my posts anyway, and then picture me somewhere in the sun, seeing new sights, doing at least one ridiculously scary new thing, trying new languages and foods, spending some romantic time with my husband and a bottle (or two) of champagne near blue seas, catching up with some old friends, and meeting a virtual friend for the first time IRL over afternoon tea at Claridges, and last but never least, visiting my much loved niece.
