Just to let you all know that, in future, I won't be blogging here.
I won't be deleting this blog as it contains so many lovely memories so it will be simply suspended in time under the guardianship of "Arnica".
My poetry blog will stay the same but my non poetry posts will now be found here. You'll always be welcome to pop by for a coffee and chat.
I'll see you all over there for drinkies later!

When I arrived at my friend's house he said "I hope you don't mind sharing with George?"
Well he was a bit too boney for my liking but at least he didn't snore!

What a hectic time I've had in the UK.
I have covered well over a thousand miles and met up with some smashing bloggers en-route.
First of all I spent a lovely day with one of my very first blogfriends Usky.
Then after a visit to my dear Mum I met up with Murphymole for a good old natter over a meal and glass or two of wine.
My next stop was lunch and a whistlestop tour of Nottingham's theatre land with Phil (Frenchy) Lowe.
Finally I met up with a boggle of bloggers in Bournemouth. Jenray (Jenny and Ray), Kevin Wilson, Elliegant and I spent time putting the world to rights. I've forgiven Jenny for telling me to "shut up" 
All in all I had a great time meeting everyone and will definitely do it again.
Now all I have to do is catch up on what's been going on in blogland whilst I've been away 
This could take some time!

I've just managed to get online and am gob-smacked to see that I've been given two BLOSCARS!
Many thanks for all the lovely comments.

.... of ironing to do.
I've created two piles - one "to do now" and one "to do sometime" 
Well at least I'm organised!

I decided that it's time I took a short break and looked at one or two options one of which was to drive back to the UK and look up a few friends. At Christmas I received a letter from an old friend who lives in the South of England but I don't have a recent email address or a telephone number for her but I came across the telephone number of someone I used to work with but haven't seen for almost eight years. I knew that he'd moved house and wasn't sure if this was the right number but I rang it anyway.
Well it was the right number and he was rather taken aback. He said "you won't believe this but I came across your address card just the other day and it's now sitting on my desk in front of me". We chatted for ages and I told him of my plan to drive back and he invited me to stay at his place in Somerset for a few days.
I haven't finalised my itinery yet but I will be driving around the UK so if any of my blogfriends want to let me have their telephone number (in confidence obviously!) I might just be in your area! Watch this space!

Yesterday I came across this sculpture by the Canadian sculptor Louis Gosselin
The piece is entitled Oraison Solaire (Solar Prayer) and measures 210cm in circumference.

Next week is half term holiday and my ex-husband and his wife are paying a visit to my Daughter and family. Louis (aged 5) told his teacher that Grandad was coming to stay and that his Grandad didn't have much hair. The teacher asked him if he used a walking stick!!!!
Well I thought it was funny!
