Sorry I've not been around commenting much in the last day or so - I'm trying to catch up with my writing, yes, but also the Blogsite has been incredibly slow and I've been finding it sometimes difficult to get pages to load. I don't think it's the internet in general because other sites seem to load quite well.

Anyway, I am up to my eyes in the sanctity of plants at the moment. This wasn't a chapter I originally intended to write, but when I collected my research together I found there was quite a lot on this aspect and it would be a shame to leave it out. After that I might finally get to write about the mandrake!
