WELCOME!


Welcome to my blog. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you'll stay and enjoy reading about where I've been and what I've been doing!

I don't mean this to be a replacement for personal emails, but it gives me the chance to put up photos and my scrapbook layouts, so I don't block up your in-boxes, or have to send the same photos and stories to everyone separately!
Thanks, and welcome, to the followers of my blog. I'm very honoured that you enjoy it. Drop me some comments from time to time! It's good to hear what you think about the posts. Come back again soon.

Thanks also to Mary of Mary's Mixes for doing all the work on the blog's heading. You are great, Mary!

Au revoir Angleterre; bonjour la France!

I spoke with my friend Ian in Hampshire on the phone today! His kitchen shop is sold; the new owner has taken over, and Ian is packing up, ready to move to France... on Friday. He has bought a house in a village in the Charente region and has been having work done on it for the last little while. So the time has come! The Irishman - Ulsterman - who became an Englishman, is now about to become a Frenchman! Bon courage, non ami! I'll be booking a week's holiday in the summer!

Here are a couple of shots of Ian's new home in a scrapbook layout. I love the old part of the house, just one room up and one down. The newer part is on a corner and has an odd shaped living room. It has a lot of character! I say all that as if I have seen the place myself, but I have only seen it in the photos that Ian sent me. Looking forward to seeing the real thing before too long.
So, all for now.
Talk again soon.
