Hydrangea Hiatus...[an informal post]


...and that'll do fine. In the two months that have just passed, not only have I somehow refrained from blogging to my heart's content, but much else has in fact happened in the world of...well the world. Talk's are underway in Zimbabwe which could see the beginning of the end of Mugabe's reign of tyranny, Inflation has risen to a new high of 4.4%, and of course Georgia has been invaded by Russia as it attempts to control it's own rogue regions. Not to mention the fact that last month Chris Huhne, the failed Lib Dem party leadership candidate, I saw soaking up the rays (or rather 'ray') here on the Isle of Man. I did wave to him but he didn't recognise me...musn't read the blog much anymore...*sigh*

Anyway on to better news:
Although From Across The Water had experienced a slight slow down in general post regularity before the hiatus commenced, this might not necessarily change. Although I assure you that no such hiatus shall again occur for at least another...while. Part time gardening is taking it's toll on the old energy reserves but i'm sure T.E Lawrence might have had the energy to write a blog after fighting the Ottomans all week, maybe even Churchill after fighting Jerry for years on end. Balls to it, those hydrangeas will have to wait!

Second: I begin reading Politics w. History in September and so plans are underway for a new Martin David blog Winchester, which would basically mean more frequent posts with more British political content, and perhaps the odd London, Brussels, Paris trip report thrown in.

Exciting stuff eh? So remember folks keep your eyes peeled, chins up, and your tweeds on. I'll be back in no time...
