On this day last week we took this train up a mountain. Hot and sunny at the bottom and hot and sunny at the top (yet there was snow everywhere.)

Yay! 10 years old today. I've been blogging on Blogger for 120 months. I may have stopped writing as much as I did in the first 5 years but it still feels good to have a 'presence' on the WWW. My readership has dwindled to a few die-hards but that doesn't phase me at all nowadays (remember when we went mental for stats in 2004?). Most of my contemporaries have disappeared, or rather, have resurfaced on Facebook so I'm still in touch with most of them and that's nice. I love the way the whole social networking thing is evolving and changing constantly and I hope to keep on top of it as long as I can. If any of this wasn't fun I wouldn't do it. Love you all.

My visual blog on tumblr is here (2 years old this month!)

My Facebook profile is here so don't be afraid to ask to be my friend.

Holiday snaps from our cruise around the Norwegian fjords. Glorious sunshine all week which is practically unheard of in Norway in May.

Foggy night in the middle of the North Sea

Gone to Norway. On a big ship which forbids children (my kind of discrimination!). Back next weekend.

We had a lovely sunny Sunday in Southport today. Bimbling round the town, through the gardens, along the pier and round the fair. I even had a lager n lime lolly.
