Yes, I’m alive

OK, I guess a few of you have been concerned that I haven’t written anything here since my visit to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. I am still here, don’t worry! I’ve spent a few weeks traveling – in Poland and another trip to the Black Sea in Crimea – and have hosted about a half million visitors in the intervening time. Oh yeah, and I got to spend 5 days in hospital to have an ovarian cyst removed. I just haven’t had time to write anything. I promise- full updates (0r at least summaries) to come soon!
