It has been a long time between drinks now hasn't it? Not literally, I still like a nice cold beer in the evening; of course I'm referring to the elapsed time since the last diary.

As you may recall the last diary was going to be just that, the last one. But I did cover my self by saying "maybe".

Well, you wouldn't believe the response I've had from a member of the general public. I've been absolutely flooded with an email imploring me, no begging me, to continue publishing the diaries.

Therefore the diaries will indeed continue, although they have to take their place in line with my many other activities, most of which earn me at least a little money. I do enjoy writing about our experiences, and the diaries are a valuable reference for us when we try to remember where the hell we were, or what we were doing, on a given date.

But writing articles and taking photos earns money, writing diaries doesn't. As they say in the American sitcoms, "You do the math".

So, the diaries are back, it won’t appear as regularly as it used to, but it will still be full of scintillating tidbits and observations about life on the road in this broad brown land of ours.

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
