Barking Irons Online - Replaces this Blog

Hello Everyone,

This will be the last posting on this blog as we have moved to a bigger and more shiny home over at www.barkingirons.co.uk and it is there that all the magic now happens. 

There will be no more updates from today.  Go to Barking Irons online and sign up or elect to follow with RSS or other feeds.  More material, more space, more fun...more of everything really.  This blog will continue to be live for a while and will then be closed down.

Thank you all for your comments, your loyalty and your input on blogger...see you on the other side!
