Would any British BD-ers like to check in?

A valid point. Verily, The Crystal Heart Fiasco shall indeed go down in Barrow history.

On the point of how the board members would know if I was...more permanently indisposed to visiting, however - I very much doubt my family would actually post something here. I mean, I've been a member for a coupla years, but my parents are about as technologically advanced as the hermits. My mother only just discovered that her phone has games. Hours of entertainment. *sigh*

Lyra does have a xanga, yes (here) but she hasn't posted on it since September, so it ain't exactly a reliable way of checking in. And as Saucepan Man said, she hasn't been on the Barrowdowns since early this year, so her absence can't really be taken as ominous.

(ps. Davem - 'some way from London'? Sheffield? Good lord, man, you're almost as far as I am, half a country away! )
