Guest Blogs

I’m always interested in offers of Guest Blogs for this site.  If you have a burning issue that you would like to get off your chest, and you can write in an interesting way, then get in touch, please.

You can’t buy your way onto this site – no-one has ever paid to publish a Guest Blog here. Au contraire my insurance is higher because I publish contributions from others so these Guest Blogs cost me.

Advice to people submitting a blog to this website:

  • get in touch before submitting your blog so that we can discuss it
  • any blog should be of interest to readers of this blog and of an environmental bent
  • word count is up to you
  • only submit a blog that you are happy to see published as it is submitted – I might correct spelling, typos etc but it’s your job to get these things right
  • submit a few sentences about yourself as well as your blog
  • send a jpg image of yourself so that we can all have a look at you

And thank you to all those who have already contributed – you have stimulated some very interesting comments and debates.
