It has been a long, long break from internet and blogging and my special readers -- and I trust your holiday and festive season and New Year was as exciting, enjoyable and rewarding as mine has been.
I have so much to recount about the last eight weeks -- many observations, interesting adventures, exciting discoveries, wonderful projects in the pipeline -- so much to share with you, and over the next few weeks I shall gladly do so.
But until I am back home at Chateau Lalinde in a few days' time, I will just post a few photographs of people and places, creatures and features that filled my life these last two months --- to whet your appetitites for what is coming.........
