Previous Decembers had never got into the 80,000s in pageviews, with December 2015 (at 79,000 pageviews) being the best December on record until this year when, as of yesterday, the pageviews already surpassed…

The end of April for me, and on this blog, was somewhat dominated by Wild Justice winning its case against Natural England on general licences.

This blog in November
Comments Off on This blog in November
