Good old Steffan - we now have new windows to replace the hopelessly dilapidated ones that were in our shed:

I seem to lurch from one thing to another, in my attempt to have a trouble-free website.

The host has now added FrontPage extensions to the service, so I had to republish the site through FrontPage. Sadly, the host does not appear to support fully the navigation bars that I have in place. The site works fine but the navigation is not exactly as planned! We're working on it.

At least the changes now permit the interactive and feedback facilities! Let's hear from you.

Meanwhile, I apologise for the time off-air, yesterday, when I hadn't realised that the host had taken the site down, to switch me over to a FrontPage Extensions hosting package.

There is a new suspect farm, as of Thursday 9th August. The sad aspect of this is that it is situated about 10 miles to the East of the earlier outbreaks, beyond Guildford. A new Temporary Control Zone has been put in place, centring on the A25, midway between Gomshall and Westcott, near Dorking.

This news comes just as the authorities were relaxing movement restrictions (for animals to go direct to slaughter). This suspected case is still within the County of Surrey but brings the prospect of a longer battle than was first hoped. It will renew calls for vaccination.

DEFRA has responded with a 'standard letter' to my offer to help with homeopathic input. I am not hopeful, at present, that they are taking this offer seriously. This would be a shame. Why not write to DEFRA, suggesting that they should look into homeopathy as a possible means of containing the spread of the disease?

Meanwhile the hunt for the guilty party goes on, seeking out the source of the outbreak. The red herring of Legionnaires Disease has also muddied the waters.
