I have some disappointing news that I have been agonising over for a few weeks now.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to GFM 06 through lack of time :-((( With our working on, and moving into an old house that we are renovating, I simply don't have any annual leave left that I can allocate to a short trip to the USA. Money is less of a problem, as our flexible (plastic) friends are always there to take the strain. However, I have already used up nearly 15 days of my yearly allowance of 25 days for leave, and we still have the family summer holidays and next Christmas to come... The Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend is a special event that brings back fond memories. Alas, for this year at least, it will have to remain fond memories. Unless I hit the Lotto and chuck the career, I can see no way past it. I will, of course, do my best to try for 2007 :-) I am now going to find a small dark room and cry for a bit.
