I think it's the thought of the next 10 days that lie ahead, but last night I couldn't sleep cos I knew I was comin home today. I'm on the boat at Holyhead, and it's packed. What i love is everyones participation, And full of people in their green wanting to be involved. Just an exciting time, really.
