Jeremy Brough, our ‘web guru’ friend was here all day yesterday helping us sort out various problems we have been encountering, mainly – but not all – to do with photos.
We loaded lots – but not all – of John’s photos, and have started creating galleries so people can just look at the specific group of photos – e.g. flowers, Zambia, or whatever. This is a work in process. Continue reading Apologies from a Blogging Late Learner
Dear all
Just in case you are wondering if we have been eaten by a lion we are both now on Lake Malawi, fit and well, having had a wonderful four days in the South Luangwa Valley. Four days wonderful in every way except there was absolutely NO internet contact at all
It has been very depressing not to be able to share with you all the excitements as they appeared. Expect a flurry of posts tomorrow! We were up at 5 today and have had a long day travelling so I feel fit for little else other than bed!
Good night all. See you in the morning.

And who is ‘you’? (Who are you? if that makes you feel more comfortable.)
It’s for family and friends, basically. Continue reading Dear Jane and Tom…
We all know that anyone can set up a WordPress blog in ten, or perhaps 20 minutes for the slow learner or so we are reliably informed.
So far the setting up process has taken at least five weeks. That of course does not include all the thinking stage, which for me has been going on for months. So many decisions, so much choice… Continue reading How Long is Twenty Minutes?
I didn’t know until recently that Marion is really a boy’s name (apparently). John Wayne was really called Marion, but sensibly changed it for the more manly John.
There is a font called Marion, according to my fonts.com ‘Marion is a transitional font designed to be somewhat Century Schoolbookish with hammer-like attributes and french curve construction’. So now we know. It looked to me quite pleasant and ordinary… Continue reading Marion: What’s in a Name?
