  34. Hi James, I was thinking of both of you when I saw your post about your "vacation". I would have loved to meet both you and Lucy. Hehehe, I am collecting bloggy friends meet up. I have already met Amanda Moore and hopefully Happy Retired Gal, the three of us will have a photo shoot one of these days.

  35. Geez, James...You escaped from the cold to come into the rain! Hope you are having a marvellous time, back close to the old homestead. I was at the Orange AMC 50 to watch the live broadcast of Carmen from the Met on Saturday. Maybe you were there too? :)
    I love the two tone, warm feel of the picture...even the ice is melting from the warmth.
