It covers what many of us have known for a while, but within it I do hope that you will find some hope regarding the predicament that we are in.In more positive news, this newsletter has now broken through one thousand, two hundred subscribers, and is rapidly growing!

    Good day my good friend.Finally, after a summer where the default setting seems to have been to focus the sun through a magnifying glass across the entire South East of England, the weather seems to be behaving itself. It’s cooled down a lot and I have managed to get a good night’s sleep for the first time in about three months. Heatwaves - don’t recommend them, especially if its five that are almost back to back.
