To my several loyal (if somewhat mad) readers, I have to say that I am once again off to the wide blue yonder on my late summer hols.

The little darlings (kids) are going back to school, leaving the way clear for me and the better half to go exploring the hills (and pubs) of Yorkshire.

We are staying a stones throw away from Last Of The Summer Wine Country. For those of you from our late and present colonies and other far flung places with unpronounceable names, The Last Of The Summer Wine is a comedy that has been on TV from Victorian times. I will put a link at the bottom, for those interested.

I look forward to long walks in the rain, smelly socks, wellies and the lovely views.

We will, of course, wear the clogs off our dog Gemma, with all the walking in the clean (if wet)air. She needs the exercise as much as we do after all. After loosing a whole load of calories with the exercise, we will, with some dedication put said calories back on via fish and chips, cream cakes and the downing of the local ale.

So there it is, we are on hols from the weekend. I doubt if anyone will miss my stories as it appears quieter here than usual. Even Angharad's Easy As, etc )hasn't had it's normal, 2 thousand comments lately. ( I'm not jealous, really I'm not. Well I am, but don't tell her!).

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I'm off to count my tent pegs and check the dog for any signs of incipient wood rot in the clog department.

P.S, I expect to see at least seven more EAFOAB's from Ang; another chapter of Unicorn from Sarah, An Auntie episode from Gabi and a neat titbit from Kristina L.S; no pressure girls!
