I’m probably being a bit naughty by continuing the numbering, considering that I’ve been away for at least two weeks (three if you consider the whole holiday). We’ve had an unbelievable time, visited many places (in the time available to us) and met many people. All of whom have been incredibly friendly, and where needed,Continue reading “2099 – I’m back, hope you are still here.”

I looked around, and there were literally hundredsContinue reading “2095 – The Starlings return & the Butterflys are twitchy”

In the meantime, I need to come up with something that can fill the space between those moments, and yet notContinue reading “2092 – Vlogging”

Elayne likes to keep a lovely garden. I am really pleased that she does, because it is a project to be proud of, and I do like to see it. For as long as I can remember, I’ve appreciated nature, but retirement has changed the nature of that appreciation. One example of this is theContinue reading “2091 – Things of Interest”
