Announcement!

I had had no idea that anybody even looked at this site. I thought I was really doing it for myself and a few (extremely) devoted friends and family.

Imagine my surprise when, over the summer, about four people told me in no uncertain terms to pull my finger out and put some new stuff on. Somebody else (you know who you are) told me off for having a plate of food on this page for so long it was well past its sell-by date!

To say I was pleased is certainly an understatement. Perhaps I should consider putting on a Guest Book. By all means email me at joleros.com and let me know. Or use my other email address if you have it. I don't want to post it here.

I had meant to move this site to another name I have and redevelop it. Like so much else that I don't do here, I didn't get around to it, having too much of a good time I guess. Now, however, I have made certain changes - largely due to knowing a little more about web sites and easier ways to do things. I've been using this site as a learning tool. Anybody interested may have noticed the different ways I use to show pictures ie this of the house: - the pics display in a completely different way to this rainy celebration and this of Rich's 60th at the savana bar. I have used what I have learnt on some different sites I have been developing.

You will find many new blogs here. Admittedly, most of them have been on the home page at some stage but I saved them at the time intending to use WordPress and create that sort of blog. Since I haven't done this yet...

So I will endeavour to put thoughts and stories here regularly, even if, like Terry Wogan says on Radio 2 "your other listener" or in my case "my other reader"...
