I hope so too. Perhaps he's on holiday?

Strange you should mention that Nigel... I was just thinking the same thing earlier today. I do hope he is all right.

Re: General Natter Room
Don't worry, Daisy, Francis is alright. I sent him a private e-mail about 2 weeks ago and he told me that he is busy with other things. He will return to EBS eventually, I'm sure.

Yes, he is okay. I see he has been posting regularly on the Blyton Blog. Sorry if I caused undue concern!

Thanks God he's okay. I was just gonna ask that question, and it's good to know everything's alright with him.

I received an email from Francis a few days ago. It is good to know that he is well.

Re: General Natter Room
All the bureaucratic hoops have been crawled through, so old Aurélien's second cataract operation has, at long last, been given a date......this coming Monday, April 10th.
All going well, by some 8 weeks after the op I should also have a new right-side lens for my spectacles. Yeay - decent binocular vision once more!
It has been quite a saga.
