Well, hello! I know, it's been six weeks without even the slightest peep from me. I am sorry, Lovely readers but sadly I'm not here to say that I'm back.

I've decided to take a year off from Blogging at Emm in London. This time it's not my Muse that is letting me down, escaping to warmer climes and deserting me when I need her most.

Rather, it's just me realising that I can't do it all. The paper I've just written was the first of five professional papers and it absolutely consumed me for the better part of six weeks.

I'm secretly hoping that this is a red herring, that I'll say goodbye and then find myself back in a couple of months. That would be nice. But it's quite unlikely.

So what does this mean? It means that I won't be posting on Emm in London but it also means that I probably won't be visiting and commenting on other blogs. As you know, I've always considered supporting other bloggers to be as important as writing my own posts but it does all take time that I don't have.

I will still be around. I'm on Instagram, Google + and Twitter and I also have a Tumblr if you'd like to subscribe to a feed of my photos.

I'll still be posting reviews on my other blog and I'm also on Goodreads.

Finally, do feel free to email me should you ever want to get in touch. I'm always happy to meet up for tea or brunch so definitely get in touch if you're in London or Kent.

Before I go, I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year and extend my heartfelt thanks for all the support and friendship you've shown me in 9 years of blogging at Emm in London. You're all truly lovely and I'm so happy to have encountered you in the Blogosphere.
