Apologies for the absence of posts…
I apologise for the absence of posts to this blog in recent months. I’m afraid my account on Twitter / X has suffered a similar problem It’s not that the Rutland Lieutenancy has not been busy – just the opposite. I hope that normal service can now resume. Posts about a few recent events will follow.
