The schools finish for the Christmas break tomorrow. So I shall be putting the pen aside and adopting my parental duties full time until 9th January. Of course the old (and I do mean old) internal computer will continue to Whirr and any, and all, ideas will be given their own index card in the ever-expanding IDEAS box but, aside from that, the writer will hibernate and the father will waken. Have a lovely festive period everyone. Let's see what 2026 brings.
