dipping a toe

Hello!

I've been away for a while - I thought it was just a few months but turns out it was over a year.  Not sure where that time went.

How are you all?  I am trying to catch up with everyone but I think I neglected my blog for so long that links have broken or people have moved addresses.  If you are out there and still reading please drop in and say hello.  I have tea and cake...

Not a huge amount has happened in the past 15 months.  I've travelled a little (New Orleans, Philadelphia, Crete, various parts of England); been ill and recovered (long story involving breast lumps and surgeries); read a lot of books (major crime fiction kick while recovering from surgery) and lost a few members of my family (two uncles, one aunt).

S and I are still together, which is very lovely.  And I traded in my old car for a lovely shiny new one in October.

So that's me, dipping a toe back into bloggy waters :-)

    I was so happy to see your blog pop up on my list this morning! I'm glad you've recovered from your illness, and hope that it wasn't too serious. Reading is always good. Sorry that you've lost some members of your family.

    VERY pleased to hear that you and S are still together. That is. indeed, lovely! As The Barreness said, I'm thrilled you popped in to say "hi," and hope you might be back to chat a bit more often. (No pressure though! I wouldn't want to scare you off.)

    Welcome back :) I've been pretty scattered my blogging as of late, so I understand where you are.

    Glad to read some words from you. Happy to hear you and S are still doing well, that there is a new car in your life and that you've been getting some travel in :)
