My god, he blogs!

We Earthlings shan't be there in person, of course, but we'll be there in spirit.

Much love and hugs to all of you down there. And I hope you'll be able to make it over to Oxford for our new housewarming (and perhaps another Murder Mystery!) later in the year...

When I realised Eurovision was coming up and there was no way we could get over to Aber (as Dan says, got to go to a wedding in Lincolnshire - don't these people check for scheduling conflicts?!), I got a bit sad. It's going to be pretty weird doing Eurovision without you.

Next year maybe we can all get together and do it old-style.
