Not quite busmen's holidays. In fact I reckon diplomats largely do what others have the privilege of being able to do most of the year.. visit their relatives. So I am no exception. I am pleased to have the delight of 4 weeks absence to take my kids to Scotland and France to visit family and friends and forget a little the political trauma of Lebanon. I hope to return refreshed and invigorated.. the winds from the Atlantic will help. I will not immediately return to blogging though. I think you probably need a break from me and a chance to explore others' thoughts and activities. If Lebanon hits the headlines again, I might be back. Meanwhile pray that calm continues and the Lebanese government gets a chance to take some real decisions that might improve people's daily lives.
