 Oh dear. 
Last night's post has caused an unintended stir. 
A couple of the stirred say the "comments box" isn't working. Occasionally it doesn't, but there's nothing I can do about that since it depends on software beyond my control. 
I neither wrote that I'm going to "stop blogging", nor was yesterday's entry a "goodbye", but what I should perhaps have explained more clearly is that the time has come for a "major re-evaluation of things", and this is one re-evaluation I'd prefer not to undertake in public. 
But I shall reply to the e-mails. 
The title of that entry is a line from 'Tiger-Psalm', one of the many poems I love by Ted Hughes (Ann Skea's site is an excellent introduction to his life and work).
