Back in Blighty
When I started this blog it was really because I enjoy writing - and occasionally ranting! - about things and it never occurred to me that there were real people out there who might read it, and whom I might meet.
I met Silverback twice last autumn, after we'd been reading each other's blogs for a while. When we met, I instantly wished we'd met sooner. It was my fault entirely that we hadn't - I was thinking, well, we seem to get on when leaving comments on each other's blogs - - what if we don't like each other in real life?
Then he went off to Florida for the winter - - we've kept in touch - - and now he's back, just the same but with one helluva suntan: a fairly new friend who feels like a very old friend, in the best sense of the word.
Welcome back, good sir, and hurrah for blogging.

hurrah indeed! Take care of my good friend until he returns to moi! We met basically the same way and that was over 10 years ago!
Thank you, Debby - I certainly plan to. And thank you for reading my blog. I'm thinking of you in sunny Florida, and hope you enjoy the rest of your time there.
