Readers

It is most interesting [and true] that you never know who reads the blog. I had a mail from a friend who lives in Denmark [and Holland] who happens to originate from New Zealand - whose family in turn must have originated from 'over the waters' some few years ago.

Mori wrote about spring in Scandinavia - collecting cloudberries and preparing for a kayaking trip later in their summer. While I write this, my two little granddaughters potter around and I watch leaves fall off the pinoaks thinking of the winter to come.

While I think instant communication is great, I think I miss the letter opening and quite moments of settling down to read what some else had hand written. But one thing is sure, hearing from friends from all over the world is the bonus.

David is sorting the many. many images taken over the years - there are too many for him ever to get through them all - and they are really great.

I am about to take the little girls out to have a 'cappucino' and cake and will wrap them up warmly.
