Humble apologies

Having gleefully headed out into Southwest Scotland this past weekend, we have suddenly discovered that the place we usually stay at (and are) is changing management this week, and so is out of internet. Given the small size of the village the only recourse is to slide into the reception area of the competition (otherwise almost closed) to grab a few minutes of time to allow this message. New posts will therefore be restricted until we return to a less flooded part of the world at the end of the week. My apologies, this was totally unexpected. sorry again.
