After the rather sudden death of a very good friend I took an hiatus from blogging. This was extended with a departure for America on a planned holiday. I hate taking breaks, especially if I do not get chance to explain them in advance, but in the midst of grief so little does go to plan.

My friend would never have wanted me to skulk about feeling sorry for myself, however. He enjoyed my work. He was, in fact, one of my first readers and always gave great encouragement. I will miss that but it seems that it will be more disrespectful to his memory if I don’t get over the sadness part and get back to work again. With that in mind I will soon be posting about my American Adventure. I took lots of photographs and some of them turned out to be rather good, not sure if that is my fault or not but I am going to use them all the same.

Life goes on even after death and I got to see quite a bit of it on my first trip across the Atlantic. I am going to try and capture some of that adventure in my next post, so until then, just give me time to recover from jet-lag and jot some words down; hopefully no one will be disappointed.
