I am aware of a few urban rivers that otters have colonised. A real treat to see them. I'm less of a fan of cormorants. Forced into inland waterways due to overfishing of sandeels in coastal waters.

I saw it on Saturday. Gwyneth Keyworth’s Viola/Cesario was also excellent but it was the staging that made it. The use of the organ was inspired.

I saw Mike speak on his recent excavations in the Preselis and on this topic in Pembs this summer. His evidence went way beyond the altar stone. As a non expert, I found it quite persuasive.

I have a "last known residence" reserved judgment that will be delivered in January, for those who can wait. The issue is whether there is a duty on a claimant to make (reasonable) inquiries before serving a Claim Form.
