It's been a while. And a pretty eventful while at that. Safely returned from my visit to Belarus, the "last outpost of tyranny" in Europe, despite room searches whilst we were out, visits to collective farms, conversations with democracy campaigners and Police tractors! I also survived the alleged queues at Heathrow and managed a fantastic romantic week away in Venice. Hoping now to resume something approaching service at Trust People as we ponder the dying days of Blairism.
