Welcome to my feast of mirth. Think of it as Hedingham Internet, my virtual castle. It’s where I do my writing now. A blog is more convenient than a sheaf of inky pages, and much harder to lose (or destroy).

The changes are often minor, but occasionally there’s enough of an improvement to warrant another look.
I hope you enjoy what I’ve written. Again.
