Normal service resumes today, or at least, we hope it will. The traveller has returned, full of admiration for the splendid hospitality of the English College, Valladolid, and babbling not so much of green fields as of blue skies and castilian cold. There were a few "oh dears" about the number of letters and emails awaiting attention, so if you have written recently and not received an answer, please bear with us as we sort out the post bag and inbox. Everything always takes a little longer than one expects it will.
