Many thanks for your comment on my blog. I am off to bed now but will check out your blog tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that you link to the egypt wildlife under your blogs section won't actually let you connect to the blog: you are immediately redirected away from the blog to a chinese TV site - I think it might be something to do with a gadget you have on the site?
All the best
Kerry
