Just give me some time at the Town Hall to get the necessary paperwork for our absence during the elctions done (bugger! I do LIKE elections, going to the UK means we wont get to vote...) and all will be well. Too bad we cant bring the dog along, she did not get her shots on a regular basis throughout the past 9 years so will normally not be allowed to set paw on the British Isles. Ever. (Stupid, oudated, unscientific, old-fashioned, bureau(c)ratic quarantine rules... even when she did have her rabies shots every 3 years or so and never ever swear-to-God-honest-its-true came in contact with rabies-infected critters its still not safe enough... I hope next time at the vet to get some answers and maybe the paperwork - did I mention I love paperwork ?)

Sorry that we cant come more often, but my illness and some necessary work on the house (kitchen and bathroom !) are being a major drain on our finances for some time now.
