2012 - January Diary

! IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ !

Please note that this website is no longer being updated or maintained - all the content and some additional content has been moved to

http://ossettweather.com/glallotments.co.uk/index.html

When this website ceases to exist the new URL will be just www.glallotments.co.uk/index.html although the longer URL will still work

As from April 2012 at the latest this website will disappear completely

As it has been a major task to move this and my other website there may be some broken links etc. Please email me if you find any.

I am really sorry for any inconvenience but this change has been forced upon me and I do hope that my new system will protect me from the vagaries of web management systems such as the one this site is created with.

Please help me by passing on this change of URL to anyone you know that is interested and I would be really grateful if you could update any links form your sites - you can update to http://ossettweather.com/glallotments.co.uk/index.html now. It will not need updating later as I said before this longer URL will always work.
