Many thanks to Steve Kitchen for looking after the show and the blog for the last two weeks.

After spending a blissful time by the pool in Spain, this morning felt a bit chilly at the crack of dawn. Thanks to John for this picture of Frocester Hill just before 6.00am.

I can never escape from work even on holiday. I ended up getting people in the hotel to look at the blog to prove to them that you can get all your clothes into hand luggage! (See the video on the "can we travel light...yes we can" entry)

Plus I was reading Stephen Fry's diaries and he mentioned going to a prep school in Gloucestershire and regularly raiding the Uley stores for sweets and chocolate. Does anyone remember Stephen Fry as a youngster in this county?
