Well, it seems I've been absent from this blog for quite some time, and my most valid excuse (aside from suffering some of the winter doldrums) is that Emily and I have been completely engrossed in the renovation of our new home, and all of the tasks and trials that have come with that project. It's been a long haul, but the project is just about finished. If you'd like to hear about it all in detail, and see loads of photos of the house, inside and out, have a peek at Emily's blog about it; www.64highstreet.blogspot.com
