October 2010
We've just returned to England after spending the summer (five months for Ralph, four months for Lenore) in Canada, mostly in British Columbia. We're using this to trigger a major revamp of this site, which will be upgraded, up-to-date and up-and-running by the end of the year. It's going to be fun!
