This has been a very interesting few days... most of you will have spotted that the site was down Thursday to Saturday, and that I've spent the last few days restoring it. Very briefly what happened was that my hosting provided decided on Thursday evening that the site was too busy and basically switched it off. No warning, no opportunity to fix things - just - the big zero. And no contact or procedure for re-enabling it. This was right at the time when people were keen to see the Guildford DFR Finals pictures.

So the only option for me was to rebuild the site on a new server - 'far away' from the old one. it took me most of Saturday to do the basics and get the Guildford pictures back online and I'm now gradually adding the extra bits'n'bobs like this diary, which is now running again.

Thanks to everyone for their patience during the hiatus. It's probably worth saying that no orders were lost (or even delayed) although some customers won't have received the usual automated email notifications, but I suspect that's not a big problem.

On the pictures front I've even found time to add another three hundred pictures from Guildford in the Rock'n'Roll and Pairs categories (yesterday) so if you weren't in there on Thursday or Sunday, have another look - I might just have found a picture of you and uploaded it.

My next task is to go back through the pictures from the International Championships and get those ready for display. It was a feast of frocks and (very tanned) flesh, and I'm looking forward to showing the photographs to you.
