Writing purdah

Okay, here I go into writing purdah for a little while, because I'm having trouble getting my mind into the level of focus it needs to concentrate properly on the book I'm writing. It's all planned out and I've made a good beginning, but I need to immerse myself in it for a while. Happily I have no preaching appointments in the calendar, I've written my magazine article for this month, and I have only one speaking engagement of significance in the near future.

So I'm going to hole up and write.

I'm still here if you want to get in touch — your emails or comments here on the blog will still find me. 

But other than that you'll know a looooong silence doesn't mean I've finally been murdered and fed to the cats by my long-suffering family, I'm just buried in text entirely of my own volition.
