By the time most of you read this, I will be in Cuba, where I am spending four weeks studying Spanish.

Blogging will be well down my list of priorities, but I do promise one or two posts.

In particular, I intend to visit the town of Guantanamo one weeked, so I try and give you a report back on what there is to see.

A few words on the Havana music scene may also be in the offing.

Best wishes to all readers, and if you are going away yourself ... enjoy.
