Finally although this list is not endless I love being able to communicate with people around this planet, it is lovely to hear of your world and the people and places in it and always brings a smile to my face!
No doubt I will add to this at somepoint but have to stop somewhere for the time being!
Enjoy the week and be happy wherever you are!
Ciao Bloggies and Bloggettes

Hello Leolady
What a delight to drop by your site and find that you have bloged again (finally *wink*)
The thought of smelly freshly baked bread and biting into a Baci gelato made me feel very, very happy. they are good things, aren't they?
My oldest started Uni today - quite a milestone in life I think - he has suddenly become much more grown up but hopefully not thinking about leaving home yet (the Uni's about 1/2 hour from here so he has no need unless/until he wants to)
Our daylight saving will end in amonth, and the days will be brusquely shorter - I suppose you are anticipting some sunshine.
My mum and sister are visiting England in April, London and Slough (I was born in Slough but mum likes to point out the hospital was in Windsor!) Mum's brothers are a funny bunch - two have never married and live in a semi where you can barely get in the front door for all the junk they buy at car boot sales- can you beleive it? They still live in the ols Slough house my mum was born in.
Anyway, it is delightful to know that you are blogging again and this is a really lovely list.
Aren't Lin's cards lovely? I bought some for my daughter and she loved them. Lovely to have the talent to express yourself like that, eh?
Anyway, it's time to put the steaks on the BBq - we are having a surprisingly warm late summer and I have big hopes that my tomatoes will ripen before the frosts
fingers crossed
ciao

Hi Foodkitty
Great to hear from you too, hope you are well. I agree Uni is quite a milestone, I have just started looking for my eldest son who is due to go next year and funnily enough he wants to look at Royal Holloway which is based at Egham near Windsor & Slough - on a good day it's about 45 mins to a hour from us, but as it's around the famous M25 it can literally take hours. We will be spending the coming months going up and down the country looking at Uni's, once he goes I will only have my baby! (he is 13 in 2 weeks) at home and I think that I will really notice that, I haven't had just one here for years (my eldest is 26 in April)- I suppose we never realise how old we are getting until they all begin to fly the nest!
Hopefully your mum and sister should get some good weather in April apart from two days of snow the temperatures have been between 8-13 degrees in Jan & Feb apart from rain it has been really warm.
I still haven't been able to access your site yet but will keep trying as I love to hear of life down under! and twinged with jealousy when you said you were off to have a barbie!!
Take care Dx
