In from the cold

I am not sure I have ever been away from my blog for so long.  

As always, the more time passes the harder it is find the words.  

So I am just breaking the seal, so to speak.

And stepping quietly back in from the cold.

And gosh yes, my goodness is it cold.  October has passed in a flash and right now the trees are alight, leaves falling fast and the air crisp and sharp.  There has been plenty of that November gloom already, thick heavy fog which hangs around all day but in between there are sudden bursts of light, clear cold skies and the berries on fire in the sunlight.

 

Thank you so much for each and every one of your kind words on the last post, they brought great comfort.  We have adjusted mostly though the young dog has taken to occasional night time howling, we think he wakes up lonely.  It rather breaks the heart.
