As Geocities is to close later in the year, I have started to transfer the pages on this site to http://www.stuartfernie.com .

Welcome to my page of links

The links immediately below lead to pages which contain my own thoughts and ideas on a variety of subjects. They have been posted on the internet in the hope that they will be of some interest and stimulate discussion. Beyond these links to my own pages, you will find links to associated pages outwith my own site.

I would be happy to discuss these pages and their subjects - I can be contacted at stuartfernie@yahoo.co.uk .
