For your information

All my worldly goods, and a few slightly dodgey items too,

are now packed tightly into some old cardboard boxes awaiting 

transportation next Monday morning (22nd May) to a new address.

I've moved several times in the last few years and I think

that if I whistled loudly enough everything would jump into boxes

without any help from me at all now.  So it will be goodbye

Lock-Up and hello Castle Long Dog.  I don't ever want to move again.

The reason for telling you all this is that I'm about to lose my internet

connection at the Lock-Up any time now and the new one won't

be installed at the Castle until 30th May for some reason better

known to the engineers who will be running the miles of cable

across the moat.  

All this means that if you're trying to email me for any reason

I won't be able to reply or even pick them up in the interim

so please bear with me, try to be patient and I will get back to

you eventually - I promise.
