It all seems so sweetly natural…to have the internet back, to be able to blog again, to read and reply to emails. And yet I’ve waited almost two whole tedious months for this. Its dragged, and yet, it’s gone quickly too. As is the way with the passing of time….. Only two months left of the […]
I’m back on line, how good is that!!!!! YAY!!!!
I went for a walk around my new village yesterday. I’ve done it a few times, but not with a camera, and thought that in the twenty minutes that the gentle walk normally takes, I’d find a few interesting things to capture. But, I was well out with my assumptions. It took two hours! Two […]
I had two very enjoyable days over last weekend. But the character of each day differed greatly from the other.

I happened to catch a programme on the telly the other night – MasterChef. It’s not something I’ve ever watched before, but it caught my eye and I watched it with rising interest. I like cooking, and nice food, so it was something that piqued my gourmet tastebuds. The young men were all vying to […]
