You may have noticed that this blog has been rather fading away this month. Your correspondent has – and continues to be – preoccupied with work of the paid variety and the family computer has been occupied for reasons related to the extended GCSE season.
I hope to resume a more normal service next month. The GCSEs are finished, the immediate work-related pressure should have slackened by then, Leicestershire’s recent victory in the exciting new 8/8 format may have dispersed the miasma of gloom hanging over Grace Road and I’m sure we’re in for a record-breaking July (perhaps even in a Good Way).
But I’m afraid this will have to do for the moment – a slightly premature Stump Watch. Encouraging, though, that something that so recently looked dead and gone can recover so soon. I shall endeavour to take it as an example.
My thoughts exactly. The Stump is an inspiration to us all and I think we should form a cult around it.
Good to hear from you again, WH. The remarkable thing is that several trees were cut down but it’s only the Stump that keeps on coming back again. I think Enchantment’s the only rational explanation. We’ve just missed the Solstice, otherwise I’d pop out and perform a ceremony of some sort.
