A New month - A New Blog
Well here we are in February now.... and I'm so pleased that I now, after poor old Annika must have nearly pulled her beautifully 'coiffeured' hair out in desperation at my 'nit picking', to have this super new 'blog' home to record my thoughts in.
Oh by the way - the header is part of a super photo 'Looking down from the Red Sentinel route on the Mont Blanc Range' Took a while to find what I wanted, and then to get the permission to use it as it is 'Copywrite'.
The weather is finally on the change now. The snow (all of it) is slowly beginning to melt and that old sun is already 'shining his socks off' this morning. Yesterday a 'local' asked me if I was pleased that 'the 2nd' was almost here ? - Pardon? Well she tells me - on the 2nd February at noon the sun finally peeps over the top of Monte Legnone and touches the top of church steeple in the village for about 3 minutes before disappearing again! I was amazed, and asked her if it was true then, that it reaches my house around the 10th? Yes she replied.... honestly it's like a science for them here. Depending so much on nature's bond with their agricultural way of life, I suppose it is understandable how important such things are.
Late yesterday evening when Ciccio went out for his 'ykw' (on his extending lead), we both heard a noise in the lower part of the garden - he pricked his ears up and I wasn't too sure what to do, my BP must have gone sky high at that moment - but I did have my 'mobile' in my pocket just 'in case'. Then we saw them....two foxes slowly padding their way across the snow towards the bottom of my garden (and the nearest chicken coop). They stopped a couple of times, looked round at us, and then continued on their way. But they were so clear in the moonlight - it was a delightful sight. I wonder if they are the ones that caused havoc in the village a week or so ago?
I know that some of the pictures are missing at the moment on the blog, but I'm gradually managing to reunite them with their stories - I think it was something to do with the 'change over'. I'm looking too to see how to Archive some bits, as I want to publish the next 'episode' of my How I became an Alpine Settler story.
So for now - with my very sincere thanks to Cristina and Expats for hosting my blog, and to Annika for doing the graphics - it's
'TTFN' - that means 'Ta Ta For Now'

The site is looking good and working as a charm! Yay!!
Yes indeed Annika...
I'm gradually managing to put some of the photos back in place, but still can't fathom out the disappearence of the first 'blogs'. But when Cristina gets to my message it will be sure to be solved.....
And BTW - I love the Webstats - wow, what a toy!
I looks great Carole (good job Annika)! I love the photo at the top!
