This Old Brit Is Back In Town ... And Blogging ...

Bah, humbug!

Talk about back down to earth with a bloody big bump.

Take off from southern Turkey's Mediterranean coast in beautiful 90 degree wall to wall sunshine with just a gentle 4 mph breeze blowing -- then a mere four & a half hours later -- touch splash down into Merseyside's miserable 55 degree p*ssing down rain with accompanying, flaming 45 mph gales.

Can you say buffeted & battered?

Home sweet home, eh?

Huh. We'd most certainly say not.

No wonder we wander the world wherever & whenever we can. Eh?

Be it in search of some culture ... or a better kind of climate ...

... or better blinkin' still, both.

Ah, well. Whatever. What's new?

It didn't take too long for us to get right back to moaning & groaning, did it?

Seriously though, while we thank you for all your well wishes while we were away, as well as your kind comments along with your loyalty -- we genuinely wish you all could have come along with us. Really, we do.

Also, we sincerely hope every thing's been going as great for you as it has for us over the last fortnight. Honestly & truly.

Anyway, right now there's a real lot of real life stuff to sort out. Like unpacking properly, defrosting freezer contents, packing washing machines full of stuff of the smelly sort, shuffling off to the shops, spending what darned dosh we still have left on silly things like scoff and so on ... dee dah, dee dah, dee dah.

Don't think for one minute though that you're getting off that lightly - coz you ain't - coz we're back.

And by gawd, we'll be bloomin' well back again ... soon.

You'd better believe it.

** Btw, before we forget ... click on the pics ... then they'll be bigger & better.
