I'd just like to welcome our new columnist, Alfred Todger, to the site. Based oop north in 'hills :-) Alfred has been going in the outdoors for as long as he can remember and now, after some gentle persuasion and a few pints of Black Sheep, he's been persuaded to share his beautifully written thoughts on the beauty of nature with OM readers every Friday.

I'd like to wish Alfred well and I'm sure he'll be appreciated.

"I'm not sure, how would I know?"

Well, come to think of it I don't think I know how you'd know either, Jon. Maybe a concerned friend would have a quiet word with you and you'd find out that way? And, of course, I meant Alfred anyway, not you.

Nooooooooo! You mean you think Alfred doesn't really exist?! <gasp> Mind you, this coming from the woman who believed that story about the sheep owning Moel Siabod. I loved that story and I was so disappointed when it turned out to be made up. <sniff>

is it my imagination or is Alfred Todger related in some way to OM's very own Richard Gear?
