Just a quick note to wish all my friends a very happy new year for 2008. I’ve been far too busy to bother much with the blog, which is both a good and bad thing at the same time.

Early in 2008 the address of the blog will change to a sub-folder of the goldstraw.com domain. The reason being that I’m currently in the process of recording two CDs of my music, which I will use goldstraw.com to promote.

Look out for me on t’telly next year, too. I haven’t yet had a transmission date through, but the BBC’s Masterchef filmed at wedding at Blenheim Palace earlier this year where I and Laura from All Angels entertained the guests. So there should be at least a few fleeting seconds of us at work in the programme!

On another note, just a confirmation that wethemidlands.com will be closing when the hosting renewal falls due in February. It was a nice idea, but the practicalities of getting a living wage out of self-employment have meant that I just had no time to run with the idea in the end. If anyone’s interested in taking the idea on give me a shout.

One last piece of news before I head off into the blue for another god knows how many months - and that was my latest cancer check-up earlier this month. All is well, and I’ve got another six months on my MoT.

Have a great new year, everyone.
