It is either too hot or too cold, too windy or too calm, too wet or too dry!!<br />I am now in Cooktown in the Library, where my daughter works on Saturdays. It has been windy for some days now and sometimes there is a real gale blowing, but I am enjoying the company of my daughter and her family. I can use the computer of the library while she is attending customers.Have a great weekend.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-38919716701012100092012-07-06T13:49:03.736-07:002012-07-06T13:49:03.736-07:00Cows in the quagmire

It won't be long until your incomparably beautiful English landscape if bathed in days of warm sunshine. At the very least, let us hope that's the case.
