I got a little bit carried away deleteting my earlier test posts from here and managed to delete my welcome message in error!!! But don’t worry the messages you left me are still safe and sound.

I have decided not to mess about trying to get the rest of my posts here (from blogger), life is far too short for going backwards and forwards with tech support and quite often reaching a dead end after all the effort. Whilst I was experimenting I had managed to collect most of them onto Wordpress.com anyway so I have included a link to those, in the archive section in the sidebar. Wordpress has a very wizzy feature that allows you to import a blog plus comments directly from blogger. Until today that is, I think it must be sulking because I got the following error message when I pressed the magic import button.
So having got all of that decided which saved me hours of messing about indoors, I was able to get out into the garden and make the most of the sun. Don’t worry I wasn’t being lazy, the garden is in need of a little TLC so I was gardening.
PS: On the plus side my web host has doubled the size of my web space for free

When I visited Jodrell bank over the Easter weekend there was a lovely walkway around the radio telescope and as you can see it was a lovely day to take a walk.
Wishing you all a lovely bank holiday weekend

History has a curious habit of repeating itself and instead of learning lessons we keep on repeating past mistakes.
Finally today the UK has formally announced that it will be ending it’s military presence in Iraq after 6 years which is good news although not for some. Today BAE systems announced that it’s sites at Telford, Leeds and Guildford will all close by the end of the year, with further job cuts in Newcastle and Barrow.
BAE’s job losses come after a “downturn in work” related to the military missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The UK government in December postponed a programme to build as many as 2,000 armoured utility vehicles.
“Our forecast UK order intake has reduced and we have to match the size of our business appropriately to the projected nature and volume of workload,” the company said.
The unit, the Global Combat Systems Vehicles and Weapons business, employs about 1,820 people in the UK.
BAE said about 100 roles from the three sites that are closing will be transferred to its sites in Leicester and Newcastle.
The Leeds office works on design, while the sites in Guilford and Telford provided support services. The Telford factory worked on maintenance for the Bulldog and Warrior combat vehicles used in Iraq, for example.
Another blow for the people of Shropshire…

…to my new blog.
All my old posts, can be found on my original Blogspot Blog. Due to firewall restrictions on my web space, I decided to leave them there rather than transfer them here.
To make it easy for people to find old posts that they might be interested in I have listed all the tags (with links) from the old blog. They should now be searchable from this new blog.
