Where Have You Been?

Hello, global villagers! You know who you are: you're the Guide's roving Researchers, and you're everywhere. In this issue, Pastey tells us more about Rome, one of the places he's been. Willem's got more exotic plant life from his native South Africa, but he's journeyed far afield to bring us that birdie. And if I hear one more snigger about its name, I'm going to come back there and... Ahem.

Awix ventures into the cinema to watch the Man of Steel in his latest incarnation. Ben's out and about,I'm abusing the company tardis again, and the Prof is wherever Yorkshiremen go in their heads. By comparison, Amy seems almost normal, since she's only talking to Pastey. You never know about him, though.

Where have you been, lately? Have you been researching, reading, or just lying on the beach? Did you think to take a picture we can show? (No, not the one where 2legs wore that...behave.)

Have you at least been to the fridge lately? No, we don't want pictures of your cheese. But a glance at this household appliance should make you think, 'Wait! Have I submitted my contribution to Create's One Page Poetry Challenge? If not, get cracking.

Whatever the vista before you, there's some inspiration there. Enjoy the fruits of our contributors' meditations, and consider sending us some of your own.

Have a good week!
