Apology - you will all no doubt (!) have noticed a small disruption to the website availablility over last weekend. This was due to an update to my Windows Firewall preventing a full update to the website - it only allowed a few seconds to load before closing it down, resulting in some half loaded pages.

Fortunately I worked out what was wrong and turned it off to complete the job,. but sadly it took me almost 48 hours to fathom out what the problem was! I think a Windows Update turned it on for me!
