Regular readers of this blog (I've been assured there are one or two of you somewhere) will have noticed the distinct lack of activity on here over the last month or so.
Well, I regret to inform you all that I'm going to have to put the blog posts on here on hold at least for the next few months whilst I complete the final stages of my university degree.
In the last few weeks there has been plenty for me to blog about, including the political scene leading up to this year's general election and Southampton's dramatic season, but for now I've decided to concentrate my efforts on the student newspaper, The Solent Speaker. Along with trying desperately to knock together articles on a weekly basis for the Speaker there is also the small matter of the dissertation to complete, as well as bringing my shorthand up to speed, gaining further NCTJs and doing some more work experience to boost the CV before I go job hunting.
But for those of you who will miss my blogging (anyone? no?), don't worry, as I will still be writing a regular blog for www.solentspeaker.co.uk titled The Week At Westminster. On that note, I'll fit in one more plug. Don't forget all you Solent students can pick up your FREE copy of Solent Speaker from campus every Friday, to catch up on what's been going on at uni and in Southampton, courtesy of myself and some very talented Journalism students.
So, for samdolton.co.uk, its goodbye for now, but hopefully not farewell...
