   May I be the first to say -

 AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!

   This is exactly what we didn't need to hear! (sorry that you were the
bearer of bad tidings Garrick.)

   Anyone remember the *last* time Kate moved? The insanely long period
of building a new studio? Do you think she's going to commute from Berkshire
to Kent every day to use the tiny old studio behind East Wickham Farm?

   Let's see...first she has to get the house in order...as it's a historic
house everything takes twice as long...double that for "kate-time"...then
she has to build the new studio...then she has to get the new garden in...
that'll take at least a year...

   Well, looks like a new album around 2000.
