As The Beatles once wrote, "It's been a long time, now I'm, going back home. I've been away now, oh how, I've been alone".
It's a lovely song, really it is. But I only meant to quote the first 5 words...I just got carried away...the music in my head replacing the voices....er...
Anyway, it has indeed been a long time since last we met. How are you? Really? Well, you should get that seen to. Meanwhile, our apologies for radio silence, we've had a crazy few months and there's no let up.
What's new?
Most of our time....what am I thinking...ALL of our time (and then some) is being spent on the wonderful Bath Festivals.
All? Well, not all. The web brigade (those Hostpipe boys are like skirmishing Rifles circa 1814, so keen eyed and dynamic are they, just with fewer bayonets and more cross browser compatibility) continue to support Stewart Signs with all things technical. And there are some other bits and pieces.
A shameless plug
Do you like words? Do you like festivals? Do you like the glorious city of Bath? Well, you'll love The Independent Bath Literature Festival - 2nd to 11th March, with 200 events featuring:
William Boyd, Jim Al-Khalili, Stella Rimington, Sandi Toksvig, Lynne Truss, Nadine Gordimer, Tony Parsons, Alain de Botton, Claire Tomalin, Ali Smith, A.L.Kennedy, Carol Ann Duffy, A.N.Wilson, Salley Vickers, Jeremy Paxman, Evan Davis, Alan Titchmarsh....and that fella Charlie Dickens will make his presence felt.
Quick sticks - it's selling out!

Roll up Roll up - it's the last weekend of The Telegraph Bath Festival of Children's Literature!
Record ticket sales and the most impressive line-up of authors and performers has already made the 2011 Bath Kids Lit Fest the most successful ever.
In its 5th Anniversary year, Artistic Directors John and Gill McClay, brilliantly supported by the Bath Festivals' production, marketing, development, education and Box Office teams, have created something even bigger, even better, even bolder, even bouncier (there was a footy event so we can say that) than before.
Anyone I know?
Er...yeah! So far including: Roddy Doyle, Jeremy Strong, Meg Rosoff, David Almond, Melvyn Burgess, Cressida Cowell, Peepo!, Andy Stanton, Eoin Colfer....ring any bells?
