Welcome back...

.... to the Lighthouse, which has been closed up these last few days as I sunned myself in glorious mediaeval Carcassonne in south west France. I found time to enjoy the local wine, meet the locals (lovely friendly sorts, even when faced with my mangled French) and also visit Toulouse to see the Ayatollah in action against Biarritz. All great fun. Sorry to be back, really.

More later when the in-tray has become slightly less vertiginous.
