Blog Update - Christmas Break
Hello to All
As of tomorrow I'm off up to North Wales for Christmas with my family.
I make no promises about blog updates. I do have dial-up access, but it is painfully slow and I don't think that I'll endear myself to my family if I vanish off into my father's office for hours on end to update the blog. I'll see how it goes when I am there. I will be picking up my emails every now and again.
I'll be back on the 28th or 29th of December.Today's updates are posted below, as usual.
An early but very Happy Christmas to those who are celebrating it.
