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).

How's things in Nelson?? It's good to see that the parade wasn't dampened by the rain! I wish I could see some sun in Wellington!! (^_^) The bodhran sounds fun!! How's that going??
