I do know our guide out there has been refused a visa to the U.K. He
understood it was partly that as a single man he would be considered a
high risk for not returning. Very sad as he wanted to visit the Bird
Fair at Rutland in a professional capacity. It would be hard to imagine
a more dedicated and skilful professional, so hopefully he will be given
more consideration this year.
