Hello bloggers. Are you all well??

Just returned from a week from England. Well, it started out as five days, then moved on to become a week. I'll tell you about it later......it's a long story. Anyway, I just love the take-off in the aircraft! It's so exciting: the speed and rise of the plane; it just always gives me a huge grin. Even though I hate heights. Luckily it was my first flight in the dark on the way back. And you get that wonderful false sense of cosy security that the staff sell you. You know, 40,000 feet up and: "would you like a cup of tea?"

"Yes, I'll have tea with two milks please!" I say, looking at the little screen again, which tells me that the temperature outside is -66 degrees! Just a few inches from my face, which would probably instantly freeze in that temperature!! Such a paradox, just like life, I suppose. You go in one direction, get a slap in the face, then try another direction!!

I always crave salads after travelling. You just feel so grotty and smelly and unhealthy. Or maybe that's just me! I also crave lovely fresh air. Luckily we have tonnes of that here in Fribourg, Switzerland. So, yesterday, I braved my first ramble down to the lake this year. We have a lovely local walk here, through some deep dark woods to the lake. You know, where the giant ants live? I may have told you before. Anyway, Axle was thrilled that I took such a turn toward his favourite walk. His bottom and his tail seemed to be wagging all at once. He got so excited he gave himself a sore paw. Not too sore though. He crashed into the water, irrespective of temperature; mind you his face did register shock! There's still a lot of snow on those there Jura Mountains. My husband said they had a blizzard here, in my absence. Then his hot-water failed, too. Not a good combination.

Saw lots of bunnies in England. I miss rabbits, you don't really see them here. I think they no sooner grow, than get eaten. But there were loads of bouncing bunnies. How very festive for Easter, too! They are really tame, when next to their warrens, too. They sit above their hole, looking so cute and cuddly. Then, as soon as you move, they pop down their hole, probably laughing through their snouts.

Here she is now, available as a Limited Edition Print. 'Woman' can be found on www.boundlessgallery.com and www.originalartonline for purchase. Only a run of 250 will ever be made. So catch her quick!

Don't ask me about food in England; please! Because I'll just start salivating again all over my sweater.

They had terrible storms in England when I left. The man on the television around the south coast of England was hanging onto a lamp-post in the gales. He kept losing his ear-piece, too. I hope he didn't get swept away!
