Oh hello there!

Well I once again have to apologise for a lack of blog updates, there are number of reasons for this they range from the fact that I haven't been inspired to write, I've been sick and despite the fact that we are approaching summer, a time when in the past I would be relaxing I am currently rather busy. I've been doing lots of lab work for my PhD and I've also been out getting leaf samples in woodlands across Northern Ireland. Sampling in these lovely woodlands is nice but it can get quite physical at times not to mention the preparation it takes to locate suitable woodlands that contain the species I want but are also spaced far enough away from each other. Another reason that I've been busy is that I finally decided to start taking driving lessons. I've had about 9 lessons so far and they have been going well, hopefully I will be able to pass my test by the end of the summer.

I do have a number of things in my draft folder so hopefully I will be able to complete them and post them soon. Thanks for reading.
