Has it really been so long since I posted? Thanks to my girl, Holly, for stopping by so much! I haven't had net access for some of that time as my puter got fried in a thunderstorm - yikes!  When I can I've been outside enjoying the summer, hanging.       

I spent so many years trapped in my bedroom, sick in the dark, I'm  still there a lot but getting to sit out more and I can't tell you waht a treat it is. I take out a book, a drink  maybe a sandwich; Molly the cat follows me round like a little dog so she always cuddles up to me.

There's been so much alternate rain and sunshine this year the garden's run riot. I had raspberries  and cherries  a-plenty earlier in the season; now my cooking apples  , plums and pears are ready to pop! There's farmland all around me and it's gorgeous. I'm a lucky bunny.

MLM's been away for a fortnight on his annual aikido training in the south of France and is back tomorrow. Can't wait.

For anyone wanting the idle chitchat of facebook I'm now on there so look me up...

Yes, it really HAS been so long since you've posted, Hazel-darling! But I'm really happy to hear that you've been spending so much time outside; you've really needed that, I know...

I'm sorry to hear your computer got fried in a storm. That always sucks. It's so great to see you back here though!!

Things have been pretty quiet around Bravenetville. Some have moved away, others have gone on hiatus..... Even I haven't posted as much as I used to - although, in my defense, I WAS away on vacation for a couple of weeks, and I HAVE been putting the videos together and posting them at the Camper...

Anyway, darling, it's so awesome to see you here again! I have MISSED YOU!!
