Like almost all websites, this one uses cookies…
... a couple that are to do with the adverts, another one links to Facebook, and a statistics counter tells us how many people see the site and where they go afterwards.

What we’re thinking…
I would like to apologise for accidentally making the website unavailable yesterday and today. It was all my fault - I pressed the wrong button in my attempts to make the website faster and therefore more highly rated by the search engines.
Having pressed the wrong button I had no idea what to do to fix the site - unchecking the rogue button didn't fix it!
Thankfully, my internet service provider stepped in and mended everything. Thanks Bluehost!
