Long overdue

I didn't get round to listing for such a long time it seems, first because we were in France for a couple of weeks, and then, when we returned, the weather was so horrid, the light was too poor to take photographs.

I need more hours in the day, I always seem to be behind with what I should be doing, like keeping you informed on here, for example. I get sidetracked too easily.
