Calvin’s back from his hols and UK clocks go back on 28th October

I’m not suggesting there’s any connection between these two facts by the way!  So, after two and a half weeks sunning myself in Northern Cyprus (and not finding any of the British villains living there) I’m back in the UK and eager to pick up where I left off.

On Sunday 7^th October this site will be 6 months old, so I’ll be publishing a few facts and figures to mark the occasion and I’ll also be putting together the next Newsletter for publication in about a week’s time. Since I’ve been away daily visitor numbers have actually gone up, so maybe I should go away on holiday more often!

This coming Sunday 28^th October sees the clocks going back one hour and the evenings getting darker earlier.  So, now’s the time to buy/set/find/repair those timers you use for the lights and replace lamps etc for the winter.  Most police forces around the UK experience a spike in reports of after dark thefts and burglaries in November, probably because the unoccupied home stands out like a sore thumb against those that are occupied with the lights on – enough said?

You know it makes sense – and it’s great to be back!
