Glad to be back

I can’t honestly apologise for the disappearance of this weblog for much of the Easter period because it was beyond my control and I can’t give a meaningful promise to prevent it ever happening again. And as I’m sick to the tonsils of railway apologies for delays which I know they can do nothing about and will repeat tomorrow, I’m not going to do anything of the kind here.

 

I’ll just say that I’m glad to be back, and explain that the platform through which this blog is published suffered some severe problems, which inadvertently led to the vanishing of the weblog. I very much hope we won’t be troubled in this way again, but I’ve learned over the past few days that the  world wide web is a more complex and vulnerable place than I thought it was.
