Yes, but if I was taking a break, I would put up a post to say just that rather than leave everyone in the lurch.
I see what you mean but I have to say, I don’t feel I’ve been “left in the lurch”. I’m sure Don has his reasons and that’s good enough for me.

So that's better news isn't it, the young fella knows when to get out of dodge. On one hand I can see why leaving a note might be a good idea, but we don't know the circumstances around why he's gone....plus he hardly owes us a notification.
The only films that stick in my mind as a young teenager were Walkabout and Don't Look Now, with a bit of The History Man drana as a top-up. I don't know why.......
