Time off

After a searing start from the blog-blocks I have ground to a halt. There is a reason. My daughter, the apple of her father's eye, is getting married on Saturday and life is HECTIC. It is not just the amount that needs to be done but also the way it distracts one's attention. If you are not buying bits of clothing you are thinking about it: even if your house guests haven't arrived they need planning for etc.
The only bit of writing I have managed this week is an article for BBC wildlife and my wedding speech!
