Still Here

I promise that I will do a post about my day out last Friday. In fact, it is half written but I need to spend a bit more time on it so that you can see what I got up to and the things that I saw.

That said, I was saddened recently to hear of the death of Elaine who was a regular commenter on this blog and gave me much encouragement when I first started blogging. Like me she was a graduate of the Open University and it gave us a bond in common. I knew that Elaine had not been well, but even so, I don't think that I was prepared for the news that she had died.

I am also mourning the loss of another blogger. This time the person concerned has not died (at least I am pretty sure that they haven't) but they have given up their blog and deleted it. Loopy Kate of the Agonies and the Ecstasies had been wondering whether she would keep on blogging or not, and now it seems her decision has been made. I am so sorry that you have decided not to continue blogging Kate, although I think that you are still reading what I write, and I would love you to drop me an email, or a comment every now and again so that I know that you are well.
