Dear all,

I am afraid I may not be around for a few days and the campaign will be on hold for a week or so.

My father passed away today after a long battle with cancer.

I am flying to the UK to sort out family things.

Thanks to all of you who have given me lots of support over the year.

It has been much appreciated.

I hope to be back soon and posting away!

Thanks guys.

RED

I'm very sorry to hear from your loss, Red. May he rest in peace, now that he is finally able to rest.

Don't worry about the campaign. The war can wait.

Hope you and your family are alright. You've got my best wishes.
