This is a late evening (for me!) test to see if the new system I have installed to update via my iPad actually works! If it does then there will be a new post very shortly. I am near Stornoway in Lewis at the moment (and will be here almost to the end of the [...]

Perhaps it is a sign of old age, but it does seem that the year is absolutely galloping by. When May is gone we will be at the half-way point already! But whether it is my age or not, the simple truth is that human life does pass amazingly quickly. The current talk is of [...]
