Additions from feedmap

Thanks to alert reader Roy of Mantex... I have discovered feedmap, "where blogs meet maps"... and found a cache of Manchester blogs I didn't know about. So, welcome to the blogroll
Ramage, James' Blog, Port 7, Kookosity, vanillasky, and Towards a Free World. I'm not going to attempt to summarize each of them today, but I urge you to go by and check them all out. Some thoughtful writing and beautiful pictures in this lot.

Will be heading back to Manchester Saturday after a few days in my old town, New York, and I can't wait to get back to the UK. I'm in a sad state after three months without a decent curry or pint of bitter, the morning papers, the carefully modulated tones of Radio 4, and, of course, the daily proximity of my nearest and dearest. Plus the whole snow thing is getting kind of old.
