Another day in paradise

The tiling is done and the kitchen inches closer to completion. This afternoon I was preparing my speech as I am best man at my mate Simon's wedding this weekend. Hectic too as Louise (with a little help from Emily...) prepare for our family holiday too. Yes, unlike Mr Blair I am supporting the British tourist industry - we are going for a few days to Bournemouth. Last time I was there it was conference season. It'll be very different this time - with one and a half babies in tow. Needless to say, some eco-warrior will accuse me of throttling the planet with my audacious plans to take a holiday. I wonder what is the most eco-happy way to take a break? I understand that Cllr Ramsay is off to Scotland, no doubt via bicycle. Cllr Read may well join him in Scotland, but I understand he travels by a very different method...
