Puzzles and frustrations of a blogging beginner

OK – After what seems like forever, I am still learning how to blog. Yesterday I learned that galleries don’t seem to work very well. The pictures looked small and uninteresting and didn’t display at all in facebook. Just a big blank space – which did have a link to the gallery page, but it took ages to load. Now I understand why people post one photograph at time. So, please be patient with me as I learn.

I have just spent two weeks recharging my batteries and getting inspired down in the Borders amongst some beautiful flowers and greenery. Now have the basis for a new series of work, good timing with NEOS just round the corner. Watch this space!!
