This is a wonderful place to enjoy very long walks and we've been taking every opportunity. So, yes, after more than ten years of regular blog posts the day arrived when it seemed to be enough. We've known one another since the earliest days and I'm happy to say the enjoyment has been mutual.<br />All the bestsusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-81214428072483987822019-02-10T22:44:53.205-08:002019-02-10T22:44:53.205-08:00Nice to see you too, Andrew.Nice to see you too, Andrew.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-64822696076174398072019-02-10T19:40:29.483-08:002019-02-10T19:40:29.483-08:00Hi Susan,

So I can understand how easily it is to drift away from blogging. At any rate we have such a wonderful archive on your BLOG to look back on, as I occasionally go for a trip down memory lane.

We have moved house a couple of times in the last two years, but have managed to limit the moves to some fifties of kilometres rather than the well-over-5000's of km that you embarked upon. I hope the move went well and that you are happily settling in.<br /><br />Of course many of us look forward to the time you start drawing again. But as I also have found, there are many pressing matters to attend to during and after a move. Taking one step at a time may mean taking some very small steps. The important thing is to stay as well as you can, and enjoy your life.<br /><br />Wishing you both well, Love, Tom. Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
