As you read this, I’ll be on my way to the beautiful Highlands for two weeks. I need my spiritual home to work its restorative magic on me.
I have decided that I’m going to have a proper break. In previous years, I’ve still done meetings and continued to write for LDV albeit at a reduced rate.
This year has been a bit of a rollercoaster. From the personal drama of my husband’s serious illness last Autumn to the Council elections to the General Election and starting a new job, I’ve not had much space to draw breath.
I need some proper downtime. I fully intend to do not much more than read books, eat cake, drink gin and walk on this gorgeous beach with this gorgeous creature:
I can’t see me going a whole two weeks without a single opinion to inflict on you, so I may pop up once or twice.
Other than that, I shall leave you in the capable hands of the rest of the team. There may be times when the site is a bit quiet, but normal service will be resumed from 7th August.
I hope all of you will have the chance to have a wonderful break over the next few weeks if you haven’t been away already.

May I suggest My Life by Golda Meir? She liked cooking, even when a US Senator visited during a military-political crisis.
Enjoy your break
Good for you Caron. Hopefully the break will re-charge your LDV batteries.
Hopefully someone has volunteered to ensured that the two usual Sunday features will be kept – “LDV’s Sunday Best: our 7 most read articles this week” and especially “Top of the Blogs: The Lib Dem Golden Dozen”. Even if they appear on Monday instead of Sunday.
Have a wonderful and well-deserved change of pace Caron. Having had four spaniels in our family I imagine it will be a different pace rather than a slower one!
Have a great holiday.
@Caron,
I’m not sure it’s going to be quite your cup-of-tea but I would recommend Steve Keen’s “Debunking Economics” for anyone who is interested in politics.
We have to understand how the economy works to understand what’s possible from a right, left and centre perpsective. It isn’t really that difficult IMO, but it doesn’t work like most think! Read Steve and you’ll see what I mean.
Enjoy your break!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Try P C Hodgell God Stalk, a dark fantasy, bit like Brexit 😉
Enjoy Caron, Switch off and spray the Midges with gin 🙂
Enjoy your well earned break! 🙂
We need more recognition for the work that the Lib Dem Voice editors do, including past editors.
Hope you have a happy vacation!
The combination of the beach photo and the cocker spaniel pic suggests that you should remember Ogden Nash’s line ‘a wet dog is the lovingest’.
*shocked at JohnM’s gin-wasting suggestion*
I’ll try not to cause too much trouble while you’re away xx
