back again

this time from the tour of Finland and Norway with Lois. Let the pictures tell the story. There's tons more, but I understand people not wanting to see all ofthem... You are missing out on nice meals accompanied by Lois at cafes and restaurants. very nice fish and reindeer... Meanwhile all is well, raspberries, figs still going strong plus incredible amount of grapes, made loads of juice. Paprikas and sweetcorns did quite well considering absences. Kids found a hurt hawk, was transported to sanctuary, will be nurtured back to health hopefully.Staying put for a while, hippo needs attention, Pete and Boully are arriving next week.
