Merry Christmas!

I know, I know - it's been far too long since I was here.  May, in fact.  I think I got a bit sick of the sound of my own voice blathering into the abyss about nothing in particular - I got bored with myself.

Stuff happened, as it always does - travel to foreign climes was attempted and succeeded (Florence in June, Copenhagen in August) and failed (Marrakech in December), visits to the beach accomplished, lots of paintings made and sold (hooray!), new cats acquired as well as illnesses (mine, the latest of which is ongoing and slowly improving but did manage to scupper the trip to Marrakech).

I shall try to do a bit more blogging next year but can't promise anything, but in the meantime, if there's anyone out there still accidentally getting my blog in their feed, I wish you a very happy Christmas/Yule/Channukah, etc., etc., and I'll hopefully see you all again in 2015!
