Be warned, this is sort of an elaborate test page. My last two posts weren’t appearing in my rss feed due to an obscure technical problem (hint use http://validator.w3.org/feed/? if you get odd rss problems). I know a lot of you find out about my posts this way, so I wanted to give you a non-Twitter way to do so.

The most recent post was about a nice day out I had in Charnwood forest, with cleavage and Proterozoic volcanic sediments and the like.

Before that was I post I’m especially pleased with, on Alpine eclogites. It gets quite detailed, but the geology is fascinating and the hard facts are helped down by some gorgeous pictures, courtesy of a friendly researcher.

What of the future I refer to in my slightly-link-baiting title? Well, today I attended a fascinating conference in London, based around links between the intellectual worlds of Earth and Space sciences and in particular how the Moon is a bridge between them. I can feel more than one post welling up inside me, so watch this space!
