Meet your host for the week

Even while I am away on holiday you don't get to escape this little patch of the blogosphere, after all, it was some of your number that challenged me again to complete another year without missing a single days posting!

To that end, and the rules dictating that it doesn't matter how I get a post here, just that I do, I would like you to give a big hand and a very warm welcome to my guest blogger for the week. Yes, be assured there has been no expense spared in my search for a replacement, I bring you the one and only, the famous (or should that be infamous), the utterly entertaining, the inimitable *insert drum roll*........... Fletch, he of 'Answers aren't at the back' fame.

Yes, for the duration of my holiday your host at gemmak'-s-ville will be my good friend and buddy Fletch. Ok, so maybe I have taken my blog's life in my hands in this decision, anything could happen and probably will, but hey life's a risk!

So that's me out of here for a few days, if I can I'll try and interject occasionally from London but until then I leave you in the very dangerous capable hands of my blog-sitter.

Please be gentle with him....at least until he settles in!


Cheers Fletch, you're a star ;o)

The promised snow has arrived, a little later than originally forecast and thus only a dusting so far though it's beginning to look like it has the possibility of becoming pretty grim out there. Were gonna hit the road earlier than we had planned in the hope that we can out run it south, fingers crossed we don't get stuck at about Newcastle!

I'm gone.......have a good week guys and I'll look in when I can. :o)
