Well Folks, it looks very much like I will be departing these shores this evening for a period of about one month, I thought I would be off on the 11th but there has been a slight change of plan, Middle East initially, then Europe with the possibility of a U.K. visit.
Hopefully I will be back in time for Christmas (which I would like to spend in Cyprus) but there is always the possibility of further changes.
I would like to leave you with my thanks for the pleasure I have derived from communicating with you all, certainly I have no hard feelings, nor do I feel slighted by some of the less indulgent among you.
God Bless you All, hope to be back in touch subsequent to today's exchanges. Best Wishes. Eliko X.
