its been some time

I have spoken with Steve tonight who is in a really good frame of mind. He is very coherant and upbeat.

The last few months have been slow, not much has happened apart from us supporting Steve with little bits of money and telephone support which Andy has been doing for the last couple of months whilst Brendan has been preparing to leave to work in Africa.

Still, all is well. His release date of April 13th is fast approaching and we are hoping that this will be honoured as release dates in Nicaragua usually come and go without prisoners being released. But we are hopeful and even want to try and get him back earlier if we can.

We will be talking to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office tommorow to get an update from them about the status and potential release date. We will let you know what comes from those conversations.
