Some of you may have noticed that there was no shallows to be shared last week. It was going to be my last post and, my goodness! It was a special one. Instead, Chaos decided to reside in his wicked guise of illness and hospitalisation (not me – but my husband) and the shallows took a back seat.

But now, I am signing off until mid-August. I’m off on holidays to Canada and the US. This is my first holiday away with my husband without our sons since 1996!!! Two (albeit older) teens on their own for a fortnight – yikes!!!!

And yes, I am going to the Montreal Romance Meet Up. I am so incredibly excited that I will be meeting USian and Canadian friends in person. I am also heading to New York for my first ever visit (excitement!) and I am meeting cousins in Boston (the excitement never ends!).

So, this Shallowreader is signing off. A planned hiatus! Adieu and I will write soon! Mwah!
