we humbly apologise for our desultory postings over the past couple of months.  That is not to say that our postings have been desultory, just that we have been desultory in posting per se.  Seneca has overwhelmed us with his pious portunings.  Just read a few of his quotes and see what we mean.  On the other hand do not read a single one, they are dangerous in the extreme and are likely to lead to death – that is you will want to kill yourself.  Actually I’m feeling quite stoic.

So our aim is to provide just a few posts each week, maybe five. Poetry Sunday and Musical Dispatches from the Front will form a constant part of our repertoire.  We hope that we will be able to give a further three original pieces each week.  We know there is enough material.

Fortunately Stephen Danks has agreed to assist us with our performance.

Kind regards

Cecil Poole

PS We could, of course, be wrong about Seneca.  That is E&OE
