7000 visitors and counting

It appears that my recent trip to the US has made a strong impact on my blog visits.  While the US had overtaken the UK, in terms of visitors, after my recent visit the numbers have shot up.  Visitors from the US now make up more than double the visitors from the UK!  Once again, thanks everyone for visiting the blog and for the comments.  Will try to cover some of the suggested topics.  Do keep the comments coming.
