Thanks Andrew and all - I just remembered that my phone takes
pictures. I'm not very good with photos, and keep forgetting that I
have the technology to do it (if in a modest, thumb-over-the-lens
way). And to be honest, I'm really delighted to be escaping my blog -
it's been a monster this year and has drained away all my lifeblood,
so blogging might not be on the menu. But maybe will try. We'll see...
