I have just received a missive which informs me that I must once again make ready to depart these shores.
It would appear that I will be absent for some time on this occasion, possibly 3 months.
I see by my itinerary that I may be in the UK for a period of time, in which case I MAY be able to join you in some of your discussions (not usually possible elsewhere).
My provisional date of departure is 20th February but is subject to change at any time between now and then, I will try to keep you informed as it would not please me to leave hurriedly without taking proper leave of those among you who have become quite well known to me.
God Bless you ALL in anticipation of my being called away even sooner.
Best Wishes. Eliko. X.
