We’ve just got back from our Golden Week holiday, to various places in Tohoku. It was a really, really good trip; six nights, seven days. I can’t remember last time I went on trip that long that wasn’t to visit family. I also took lots of photos, so detailed accounts, with pictures, will go up in the diary over the next few days.

I’ve also come back to 1071 new emails. If you’ve sent me an email this week, it may be a little while before I get round to replying to you… (Or, if there are 1000 spam and 71 real emails, it may not.)
