I have to apologise for the recent problems with the server which hosts this website - it;s out of my control, but it appears to be predictable - the guys who look after the server are aware of the problem and will hopefully have a solution soon…

    Update - it appears that several web-crawlers were indexing parts of the site they shouldn’t have been (including Google Images was downloading everything from the photo gallery) - so I’ve redone my robots.txt file to correct a small error…

    Hopefully that’ll help reduce the load on the server until I move the site to a new home…

    I’ve made some changes to block the bot that I think has been overloading my site - it’s whole IP range should now not be permitted to access this site.
