You have had to wait for the first proper update (website upgrade notwithstanding) for a few weeks but that is not unusual where this website is concerned. Indeed 2017 is no different to 2016 or any of the previous years of this website and probably no different to any of those to come. I think, like most of us, the start of the year tends to be a little on the quiet side. Homes have been robbed of their clinquant decorations, Christmas is but a fading memory and normal business resumes with dark nights, morning frosts and Spring a distant reward.

New Look for 2017
Very occasionally there is an update that is not about family Bagnall and this is one of them. Occasionally there is an update that has no photos; this is one of them, too. This update is merely an introduction to our new look. I promised a new look for 2017 and although I do not do New Year resolutions this is a promise that I have decided to honour. It was about time that I changed the look of this website, for this is the first major change since January 2009 and this post A quiet week (not including the move to private server in September 2010 and this post).
Welcome to 2017
Welcome to 2017 and the first post of the new year. This is my traditional Janus-like post where I look back upon the year just gone and the one that lies before us.
