When I set up to write this blog, I promised I'd knock out a missive at least once a month; well already that's turned to custard!

I finally grabbed my breath on a plane to Madrid, though with a pre-5 a.m. start to catch my "delayed" flight (we are working to Spanish timetabling), it may be a slightly delirious one. So, in my true addled brain style, I'm going to cover a few weeks in May backwards! I hope you're following closely.
