The photo at the end of the post  is one of my favorite photos. I love the delicacy of the helicopter seeds… I’m working on how to put it into a quilt. I plan to make it large, ……how about a 6ft dandelion head.

If you click on  it, it  will take you to a slide show of many of the images I have enjoyed viewing in the past few days. Stormy skies, green green landscape, …….. roses… I can’t remember their proper name…. the colors and scent leave you heady. Antiques, people in the streets and just plain lovely stuff…..

It’s been an amazing tour.  However, things change and I had to make a little detour from my original plans for a few days. Our tours are booked 2 to 3 years out… I’m now into 2010 and it is human nature that things other than business pop up.

Fortunately I’m back on track. I now have wi fi so I can add photos and do a lot more. I have some exciting things coming up in the next 10 days. Then I’m off home for a few weeks to cuddle the grandies, eat at my favorite Asian restaurant, catch up with loved ones, eat toast and Vegemite in my jammies watching TV and have roast lamb.

I have most things prepared for the return tour but there is always so much to do and so little time…. I’m not looking forward to the cold weather and the short days….  It’s been in the 90’s for the past week and shorts are the go when I’m not teaching…. oh and it’s not dark till 10.00.

I’ve been attending a media seminar online this afternoon, interesting.
