Apologies for the lack of posting on this "Blogspot" blog. We've found that a Facebook Page is far easier to manage on the go (we're on the go a lot now that we're working on site) and works much better with our images. Time is precious so we can't keep 2 blogs going.

From now on, you can keep up with the project at. . .
