I’ve been out of the blogging loop for a couple of weeks but am now back. Firstly, thank you so much to my fellow blogging friends who have checked on me to see if I am okay. Your kind words mean a lot. I’d had a bit of a gruelling time at work which zapped my energy and which made other things take a back seat for a while – including creative hobbies such as photography and blogging.
I’m terribly behind with everyone’s blogs and it will take me quite a while to visit everyone and to catch up – but I will.

Good to see you back and marking your return with a super shot. I wish your absence had been explained by two weeks in the South of France or some other exotic location. Glad to hear things have eased off at work. It’s no fun being under the cosh.
