Forever? Temporarily? Or is this a metaphor for ‘Ria Bacon has stopped blogging’?

Ria, please let us know what you are doing.
July 17th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Yes, please do!

Sorry, guys. I didn’t mean to be so abrupt.
My departure had been planned for a while. The long gaps between posts these last few months were partly due to hassles related to our temporary departure. I’ll be off the island for 6 months because of family reasons.
I’ll keep blogging as usual … which requires more patience on your part. As of August we hope to be more or less settled for a while. So stand by for a new chapter in the adventures (rocambolesques) of Ria!
