Update from good 'ol England.
Arrived here to find sandbags up against the doors of the houses nearby, to protect them from the floods. Most open land/fields/woodland are now barred from entry because of the foot and mouth disease, and the train crashes keep happening, and there was a bomb in london outside the BBC offices. So, all in all, a very good time to come back to my country.

Never mind, I'm here safe and well (except my throat sort of hurts). Am going to show Jordi the delights of Birmingham tonight (no, not "Legs-11"). However, as we are both very hungry now, and need to find some people, I will have to leave you and update tomorrow.

Hope everything's well with the rest of the Mainz crew, and keep in touch.
