Dates in brackets refer to the last update (checked on 2nd Jan 2003) or the date I added the blog.

If you want to be added, just mail me at blog(at_sign)AndyPryke.com - it would be good if you let me know where you live (i.e area, rather than house number ) I'm happy to add a link to any blog in Birmingham or the surrounding areas.

Blog Chalk
