Above is the card that we’ve been posting out to friends in recent days. If you haven’t received one, it either means that we’ve missed the Christmas post, or that it’s one of the many unaddressed cards still sitting on the living room table, or that we’ve forgotten you, or that we don’t like you all that much.
Heather designed the card, using her photos of the Isles of Scilly. She then set up a little production line involving the printer, colourful card, various shiny spangly things and something or other called Sticky Dots. It’s great being married to a Primary School teacher.
Back in January, I set this blog up as a completely cynical marketing exercise intended to lure in potential buyers for my book. The blog primarily remains precisely that, but what has surprised me is just how engaging and pleasurable I have found running it; quite often I’ve found myself working on the blog when I should be putting time into the book. Anyway, I do hope that www.southwestseakayaking.co.uk has given you all some pleasure during 2007, thank you for looking in. Best wishes to you all, have a great Christmas and see you again in the New Year. I’m now off to Spain (family) and then Portugal (whitewater).

I pray God it’s our last …”
