Checking to see if my old blog works

So Dear Reader

Here we are again, so close to the next Tour. We leave Australia on Boxing Day. 

I thought I should check to see whether the Blog will work after five years.

Here’s hoping

    What are the chances! 6 days after this post, something triggered my thinking and I looked for this blog. Another tour hey? Wishing you good voices in the lead up and I hope it all comes together. It always does!

    Dear Anna
    How lovely to hear from you. We leave on Boxing Day, in just a month. I will be thinking of you especially when we are at Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle.

The Big One, St Paul’s

  Dear Reader Today was the Big Event of tour. St Paul’s Cathedral, London. If you are observant, you will notice my absence from the photo above, along with several of my colleagues. Sadly, this happened.  After nearly four years and six vaccinations I finally succumbed to the dreaded Covid. At the worst possible time.

The Young Ones have just left Room 112 (my room) where they very kindly offered to help Alice and me finish off the duty free vodka and gin we bought in KL some 9 days ago. Slack work, Team. There are remnants, so the Young Ones are cordially invited back to whatever room I am allocated in Chichester tomorrow to continue their assistance in Tidying Up the duty free. What was said in Tidy Up remains in Tidy Up, and you, Dear Reader, should be grateful for this. As well as those whose reputations might be sullied by Tidy Up. Continuing our journey back in time, I will take you, Dear Reader, back to TGIF Guildford*. It stands for Thank God Its Friday. Except on their wall it says TGI FRiDAYS, with the plural marker. (Note to self: Turn off inner Grammar Pedant af...
