I'm considering going home. Not permanently you understand, it would take something of a seismic shift in my life to pull me away from the palm trees, but I am finally, after 18 months away getting homsesick. I knew it had started when I watched a show on TV where a presenter was walking across Trafalgar Square doing a piece to camera, and it was raining and my heart melted a little bit. I spent many happy hours in that part of London when I lived there and it brought back fond memories.It was never my intention to abandon Britian entirely, but I needed a damn good break, and I think that just under 2 years may be enough. My hope was to divide my time to some extent between both countries, but that is easier said than done. In the end you need to work somewhere, and I have work here. So I expect that the balance will be heavily Spain biased for some time to come. But that means I can visit England as a tourist which will be fun. I'd like to go to Tussauds again, perhaps some of the museums and certainly the Cabinet War Rooms, which are something of a Mecca for me. I haven't decided exact dates yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be soon. Then of course I can live my Bond fantasy to the full, and step off the plane with an unseasonal suntan, and take a cab to an unremarkable building in Regents Park. Oh.

If you haven't used your security clearance in over 6 months, it will have expired, so they won't let you in. You have been out of the game a while, haven't you? There's a woman in charge and everything now.

Female ´M´? I heard something about that but wasn´t sure if I believed it. But if I´m following the plot of ´TMWTGG´I shall have to attempt to shoot her.
Have fun, I am approaching 4 yrs and have still to reach that point!
It's more about the people than the place. And I do miss the BBC, oh the luxury of just turning on the telly and seeing it there !!
