Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..

 Somehow it’s ended up being October, and I’m not entirely sure how that happened. I still hadn’t got used to the concept of August, and logic would seem to suggest that was some time ago. Mind you, the onset of

Fun, fun, fun in the Audubon

Fun, fun, fun in the Audubon

I have a sneaking fear that my punning titles may be becoming a little obscure even by my standards, but we’ll let that pass. There’s no prize for the first one to get it. In the general catch-up I’ve been

Catching up on the news

Catching up on the news

True to form, I’ve fallen rather behind on the volunteer’s day news, so it seems apposite to fill in the gaps, as it were. Starting in reverse order, as John has mentioned in his last post, we’ve been filling in
