Yes, yes, I know. We haven’t blogged in a long time, and didn’t put up our usual notice that we’d be idle over the holidays. Stuff just caught up with us. But we’re back in the saddle now, and normal service will be resumed just as soon as we clear our respective backlogs.
Coming blogging hiatus
Just to warn everybody that I’ll be going on holiday next week until the new year. Not entirely sure about Jeremy’s plans, but blogging will be slow from me for the next couple of weeks. But I’ll keep posting on Twitter, so follow us there to keep up to date on all the holiday season agrobiodiversity news.
