Is there anybody there? Well, a couple of people were kind enough to say they missed me. And it's only taken me five months to work out how to load pictures again. (I wasn't on the case 24/7 but I did sporadically try, honest!) Anyway, an anonymous query last night asking if I'd retired from blogging prompted me to google - and this time I came up with an answer that worked! So here's a picture to celebrate the spring that hasn't yet sprung around here - but I'm enjoying the daffs that were 19p a bunch in Waitrose this afternoon. Normal service could well be resumed soon - although I'm not sure you've missed out on much as the blog hiatus has coincided with a long lethargic spell here. (Weather, more weather, house sale that was sensible but nevertheless sad, and penny dropping that having long believed I was completely devoid of any work ethic, even so I'm bizarrely unsuited to retirement.) And yes, I missed all of you, too!
