Another day, another dollar.
I am overwhelmed by the response that has happened to the CFZ Volunteers list. Everyone is rushing around being busy little beavers, and I am feeling quite embarrassed that I will be spending the day doing family stuff when everyone else is working. Graham will hopefully have the broken links on the website fixed today, and it looks as if - starting next week - there will be a whole host of exciting new features coming along!
Living in the country rather than the city never ceases to be a delight. Who would have thought that Graham and I would be up early in the morning breathing in the country air (which today smells strongly of cowshit and creosote), and getting to work well before midday? John goes back to Exeter this morning; I am just about to drive him to Barnstaple, but he will be back on Monday. Only another week to go and Mark returns, and the CFZ will have nearly a full compliment here. All we need to do now is to get Richard and the dog up here, work out some way of getting Nigel to leave Exmouth, (and have Mark Martin skulking in the bushes), and the CFZ family will be together again.

But what have you done TODAY???????
Hard at work in the CFZ office
The CFZ personnel work out here on a rota. Today Graham and I have been joined by John Fuller (administrative assistant), who lives at the old CFZ base in Exeter.
John hides behind a teetering pile
of copies of Animals & Men#36
John has been printing off copies of the new journal of the CFZ (bloody hell! Is it really 36 issues already??? Graham has been proofreading one of our next book releases: The Beast and I by Paul Crowther. It is an amusing and often exciting look back at ten years of searching for the `Beast of Bodmin` and its kin, written by the one-time lecturer in photographic studies at Plymouth College of Further Education.
A preview of the cover for Paul's book which will be out by the end of autumn
What have I been doing? Well, apart from working on my father's new book - a history of Pre-colonial Africa - I have been working on a project that is very important to me. For years we have had people offering to help the CFZ on a voluntary basis, but we have never made a concerted effort to marshal these resources.
We now have a Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CFZ_Volunteers/ and we are actively seeking volunteers - so c'mon guys, sign up!
The CFZ is open to all; young and old...
Dad and John Fuller hard at work
