Getting Back into Gear

My Somerset jaunt proved to be quite interesting.

The first major discovery on arrival – no mobile phone signal.
The second major discovery just after arrival – no internet connection.

The site that we’d booked into advertised wireless internet, but it wasn’t working. As my fallback is a 3G mobile data card, I was well and truly stuffed.

Once the panic attack had subsided, I decided on a radical solution.

For two whole weeks I would do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

For the period of the stay we took in the sights of Exmoor and The Quantock Hills, took the dog on long, long walks, ate and drank lots (well it was Xmas).

I also worked on The Gateway. The first draft will be ready by the end of January.

Now that I’m back I have a huge backlog of email to sort, then I make a start on the new life. (Unless I can find another excuse to avoid work.)
