Dear lovely patient Strange Flowers reader,
If you’ve been here with any regularity over the last few months you’ve doubtless noticed a steady drop-off in frequency. The real world, which generally cares little for the doings of long-dead eccentrics, has press-ganged me into its service such that updating has been sporadic at best.
And now for the first time in several years I’m having a long break from it all, at the end of the world from which I started out. That will mean posting little, if anything, for the next month or so. I hope to return in April with a head full of sun and energy and ideas, but until then – thanks for your attention and patience.
Strange Flowers 
Have a good time !
Don’t stay away too long your work is captivating and besides the great dead need you.
Keep your head in the clouds (graves).
chow for now!
safe travels into the real world…will miss your posts…

Thank you so far and waiting for your new postings !Wish you luck!
A big part of my day will seem empty without your postings. I hope your time will be filled with whatever it is you desire. Regards, Roger
Have a safe journey! You’ll be much missed.
Enjoy your break James – and we welcome you back to these antipodean shores.
Perhaps you’ll also find some Strange Flowers here in Sin City 🙂
Good to see you coming here to sunny Sydney. ENjoy your time away
The fabulous deviatesinc at Tumblr linked here in a post tonight & I felt a sharp pang of sadness at realizing how long it’s been since there was a Strange Flowers post in my inbox. I’m really glad you could take a break–everyone deserves one, especially someone who has done such brilliant & extensive scholarly work as you have here!–but please know how much you are missed, and how much your future posts are happily anticipated!
Thanks to you and everyone else for the kind commments. And I agree with you about deviatesinc!
