Thankyou

for your kind messages about Dad. He's getting better but slowly slowly...a nibble at a time!I'm home for an evening (having only packed enough for a couple of days when clearly much longer will be needed to get him on his feet again) so this is a very quick blog :)

I've just read Mr Golightly's holiday, by Sally Vickers. I don't know if I've recommended Miss Garnet's Angel by the same author before but if not, I hugely recommend both. She's firstly, a writer with word magic. You suddenly find yourself reading a sentence again just because it's a joy to read the way she puts it together. Also, her stories are totally original and charming. She has no fear of love or faith or tragedy and has no need to dress them up...they come unvarnished except for the simple beauty of her prose…very restful.

Ah well, off again in few minutes...

This sign tickled me!

Early one morning, Buffalo hoof prints outside the bedroom door

Childen waiting for the tourists in the Samburu village

Many hands make fire
