A view from my terrace
It is thanks to Internet communication that I write to you from Montmorillon, in the Vienne region of central France. I decided on the spur of the moment to take some time with friends and family in the UK and here in France while Marco is still enjoying the relatively “quieter” time of year, and knowing that I could still do my part in [...]
AN OPEN LETTER TO MICHAEL’S FRIENDS

The news is out about Track K
We have tried to protect Track K from the money grubber developers in the past but you and I know, they have money to burn so the city will be the looser in the long run if this land doesn’t go to Conservation Collier. We know Conservation Collier would use it as a preserve and this is the only open place on this island for the migratory [...]
