missed you all

Hi folks

sorry I have been awol for so long, being a AnDholic was interfering with my job searching and I thought I would not come on until I had found full time work, well I still haven't found full time work but I am working part time in a bookshop - which I totally love

I hope everyone has been well, I have missed you all very much!  I don't have much other news - my daughter is learning the accordian, I am learning the bodhran (Irish drum) and penny whistle.  I tell ya, it's the height of cool in my house.  I have acquired another teen who now lives here (as you do) and work on my property is going very very slowly (it's a finance thing).  All is good though and I hope you are all well too.

At the moment it is the Nelson Arts Festival so here is a couple of photos of the Mask parade that opens it (done mainly by local schools).
