My faithful
readers know the main reason why I closed the blog in the first place and why I’ve
decided to start almost from scratch. You won’t be able to see the 800 or so
posts I’ve written since May 2009, but my new posts will be visible for all to
see.
The second
reason why I haven’t posted, is that I’ve spent a week in the Loire Valley with
my friends B. and J.L. We had a great
time and the weather gods were on our side. We left on a chilly Saturday, had
some rain on the way down, but arrived at our destination under a clear blue
sky.
June 1st, speeding down the motorway ...
Over the
week the weather got warmer as the days went by and the sun shone down our
white skins, turning them red and hot (not to say sunburned). The red gradually
turned brown, and I can say that I will be returning to the office on Wednesday
with a nice tan!
After a
week in France I have enough material and photos (513 of them, but not all of
good quality) to entertain you for several weeks … So I’m anxious to get this blog ‘on the road’ again, because I’ve missed writing it and reading your kind comments.
You must have had a good time in France and you were lucky to have few days of good weather (your name was mentioned in Ken's and other blogs). I thought you had stopped blogging all together so I took you off my list. I will put you back on. Have a wonderful, sunny summer!
ReplyDeleteFijn dat je terug bent :-) Looking forward to the new posts
ReplyDeleteWelcome back
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun time with friends and food during that week.
I'm so glad that you're back.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to all your posts about your trip to France.
So sorry I missed you while you were here in France, sadly our holidays clashed!
ReplyDeleteI also have many many photos to go through so I am holding off blogging for a bit until I get my act together Keep well Diane.

ReplyDeleteGood to see you again, Martine.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your patience and kind comments. I've missed you too. I had a fabulous time in France and hope to share the photos and stories with you in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteAs from tomorrow I won't be posting every day though, because duty calls (job!). But I promise you will get the full story and loads of photos!
Glad to see you back Martine - I was wondering what happened!
