Back again

For the last few weeks, I have been away on family holidays and so please excuse my lack of replies to comments, emails and even (possibly) phone calls (I managed to lose my mobile a few days into the trip and am currently trying to get my old number working on a borrowed replacement handset). Please also forgive (or perhaps ignore) some recent posts that may have been a little sloppy as I hastily composed these before my departure and scheduled them to go up while I was absent.
