After a lot of travel in January, a lot of personal business in February and March (including getting my permanent UK residency visa)and more travel in April (prolonged by Icelandic ash), I am back in Laverstock, Salisbury, ready and anxious to write again.

I've had a lot of ideas in my head that I would have liked to have written about, but time, some technical problems, and other issues have kept me from getting ideas onto this blog since the New Year.

We are now having a beautiful spring, and we have just finished a dramatic election bringing a new government and a reaffirmation of the British constitutional system of law. It is a time of new beginnings.

Thank you, dear readers, for finding your way here, and I look forward to again sharing ideas with you.
