Meeting up with Jane Akshar

After all these years emailing to and fro without ever meeting, Jane and I have finally got our act together and are meeting for lunch at the British Museum today. For some reason every time Jane has been in London and I've been in Luxor we have managed to miss each other. Regular visitors will know that Jane runs the wonderful Luxor News Blog. So that's my excuse for not updating the blog today! In fact I am supposed to be out all day tomorrow too, so it may not be done until Monday morning. But here's a lovely photo from Bob to add some colour to the morning if it isn't sunny where you are.

Cheers to all
