As for the photos, they are special as can be and perfect for these beautiful thoughts. I cannot imagine blogging without looking on my sidebar and seeing a glimpse and a snippet from your blog tempting me to come over. For the many times that tiny leap has taken me to boundless beauty as seen through your camera and expressed in your words, I thank you.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-22926260151779488982011-09-04T03:51:03.909+02:002011-09-04T03:51:03.909+02:00Owen,

It's especially the thought of a cricket bat that shall keep me running, as I listen to the lovely refrain of "Long May You Run"... (thanks sister Lynne for that)...<br /><br />But to one and all here, I thank you deeply for your company along the blog trail, your warmth, your wicked puns, your honest hilarity as time and time again you see the bright and the joyous side of things presented here...<br /><br />It's odd how people come and go in the blogosphere, maybe a little like at parties, conversations transpire, and then people move on, sometimes you see them again, sometimes not. I miss the conversations with some who have moved on, but am absolutely loving the exchanges with all of you who do have the time and the will to drop by this most remote outpost on the far fringe of the blogosphere. It still amazes me that out of all the millions of blogs out there, anyone at all managed to find this place...<br /><br />So, a fine Saturday night to you all, and a wonderful Sunday. Instead of going to church in the morning I'm off to visit an abandonned sugar factory, and am hoping it will be as sweet as it sounds.<br /><br />Hugs to all, and Alistair, you can put that cricket bat away...<br />:-)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-26831980837813472362011-09-03T13:17:06.627+02:002011-09-03T13:17:06.627+02:00Please don't stop now.
