Apologies...
March 27 2015
...sorry everyone, I've been a little tied up the last few days - I was in article-writing purdah on Wednesday, and in London for 'Fake or Fortune?' yesterday. Today I must go to Glasgow to get a passport for my daughter. Should hopefully be back to the blog later this afternoon.
In the meantime, there are many updates to the National Trust story below.
Update - and further apologies! We had a technical issue here which prevented me from posting anything. Fixed now. But the good news is, we got the passport.
