The school year has ended, and like the children, I am now away until September.
Alas, I have been struck down with ill health, and rather than heading to Portugal, I am having surgery instead and will spend the rest of August convalescing.
Have a splendid summer whilst I am away.
This blog will reopen for business in the autumn, and the sponsored walk to Save the Children will take place then.
In the meantime, it appears Sunny and her friend are still heading south anyway.
I hope the convalescing goes well, get well soon sir.
