A humble apology

I know it's no excuse but i've been having a pretty tough year this year...what with moving away from my children and seeing so little of them, and the prospect of not seeing them on christmas day for the first time since they were born, it's been getting to me lately.

Is this something money can solve? If a whip round happened and we got you a return train ticket... would that help?

Not preventing you from leaving, free to do what you want... but things like this specific thing really matter, they're your blood and your life... if our monopolising you in London is causing strain then I think we can work out how to get you to your kids for Christmas.

Of course, if it's not money that's the obstacle then perhaps we can't help. But if it's something as meaningless and frustrating as money, then definitely we can. The party is on Sunday and whilst I plan to help raise money for the LCEF I'm sure a 2nd pot can be put next to it to get you to your kids in time. It'll be like something out of Die Hard I imagine.
