Hi everyone,

Sadly, this week there will be no Mobility Matters Extra. I will be honest, this week I have been dealing with a lot of personal matters at home. The majority of which are, lets say quite sensitive and I can’t really share much about them. Including matters that have ongoing legal implications for members of my family. I wish I could be more open than this, as I believe completely in transparency and being open and honest with you. But loved ones have asked that I do not, and I must honour that wish.

My intention was to keep Saturday (yesterday as you receive it, today as I write it) free so that I could write something for you. Probably relating to yesterday’s Growth Plan of the UK Government. Because its much more nuanced than headlines about fracking, road building, and bankers bonuses. But my writing head is just completely burnt out. Even writing this is a struggle, and while Stephen King’s writing method my work on him, I have found that when I can’t write I must not force it.

Therefore, I have been forced to admit defeat on this occasion. For which I am sorry.

Next week, I will be back, of that there will be no doubt. As I mentioned in my message on Friday, next week’s Daily newsletters have been set to go, so you will receive them as is usual. And next Sunday, Extra will be back and fighting fit!

James
