And while there are big drawbacks to my wife currently being away studying in the US for two months, we can at least take heart that one trade-off very soon is a much looked-forward-to two week trip together around New England and over to the Canadian cities of Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa. There's definitely worse places to be celebrating our first anniversary. Oh, and I'm also off to the French F1 Grand Prix tomorrow - vroom! NEWS ARCHIVE
