ReplyDeleteWell done. I hope you are enjoying sharing your words and images as much as I am enjoying reading them.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I am really enjoying writing and getting new photos. The beach is obviously an older one but the newest picture was taken at the edge of the village this weekend.
I now have a direct link on my desktop to your blog and my blog as well! It's a daily indulgence!
I really like your new archive menu, it's very useful.

ReplyDeleteHey! you updated. Well done - looks good!
