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.
