Hi all - Nice to see that some of you are starting to use the blog feature! Currently the blogs are only visible to subscribing members. I was wondering whether users would like to make them visible to the outside world? This would mean that you could, for example, attach a link to it to a signature on your email, so that friends or relatives could go and have a look at your musings, photo's or whatever else you're using your blog for? Private stuff would still be kept private if you leave it as a draft (this means only you can read it). Let me know what you think!

I was admiring the maize in the my garden this morning (which is actually strating to look like it might grow now we've had some sun). And I was thining about the mziae mazes that are created every eyear in many parts of the country. Cut out of maize crops in delightful designs, they are hours of fun, especally if you have no sense of direction (like me). Redesigned every year with the new crop, and covering many acres, they are a great day out. They are only oen for a few weeks each year usually between July and August before the crop is harvetsed. Find one near you this summer and if you get some photos, could we see them?... And if you have been to one before,…

Hello everyone I'm off to Edinburgh soon for a short break, and I can't wait, but I'm not sure of how to plan my little holiday. We will be there for a long weekend and I want to make the most of it, but all I know about is Edinburgh Castle. So, I was just wondering if any of you have ever been there or live there, and could give me some ideas of things to do or places to visit. Look forward to hearing from you. G.
