In less than a month I will be out walking again in northern Spain. My new Boreal hiking shoes arrived today and I am excited. The nose and the road….that is all.

Wedding
On Saturday last, I married my lovely Richard, we had a delightful day surrounded by the loveliest of people. Thanks to everyone who made it and all those who sent love from afar.
Eulogy
It is possible to have fondness for a fish. This is the last recorded image of yum-yum_01. The yum-yums survived a winter in their near frozen fish bowl with such tenacity and enthusiasm they became an inspiration. In spring time they relocated to the big pond at the end of the garden, where they enjoyed lazy days basking in relative warmth with their fishy friends. A month ago they disappeared. A suspected heron attack, but no way to be sure. We miss their bright jolliness and appreciated their company for the time we had it.
Fun Fair
Today, through various circumstances, I found myself at an amusement park, a somewhat foreign world for me. However, I was blessed with good company and there were many moments, I am pleased to say, of genuine fun.
Time
This afternoon my beautiful German 1930’s railway clock has been returned to me, with new glass and an overhauled mechanism. I bought it somewhere in the suburbs of Adelaide, Australia with Helen Carter, we were supposed to be traveling to Uluru, but the car had broken down and we were browsing whilst waiting for repairs.
Today, when we hung the clock by the door in the lounge it wouldn’t run, so we moved it to the wall by the window and it is now ticking contentedly, filling the room with a warm and familiar beat. We all work more contentedly when we find our place, I have certainly been feeling that way of late.
Welcome
Welcome to my new website and blog, it has been a long time in the making and I am pleased to find it is almost complete.
