Diary

We started off using eBlogger to record our blog, but we always felt it would be much more complete to create the blog updates ourselves, within the framework we had created for the whole website, and hence it has now migrated to here. This page will always be an index to our diary entries and there will be a link here, and on our main home page, to go to the latest diary entry.

We will also issue a newsletter, which will be sent out via email every time there is a diary update. You can subscribe to that here.
