I promise to give up the cheesy pop song references as soon as we land somewhere exciting.
The main purpose of this post is for those of you who have subscribed to the blog to see that the subscription works and that you do indeed receive notification of posts on the blog.
And so our European adventure begins … our bags are packed, the house clean and presentable for those who’ll be caring for it, and our goodbyes said. We are at the airport, itching to get started, hankering to feel the warm sun of Dubai on our backs …
meanwhile, to entertain you while you wait for the next exciting instalment – hmm, exciting at least to us – I’ll leave you with some words from one of my favourite novelists. Guess who?
… if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad. (from Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen)
Have lots of fun and relax !!
Thanks Sylvia … Stage 1 went well and we are ensconced in Dubai.
*chuckle* I am catching up on your posts – I must have somehow subscribed to comments, not the blog!
I’m catching up too, I thought I’d subscribed but don’t seem to be getting updates, will give it a go again.
Hmm, Louise .. According to the site you did indeed subscribe – 9 days ago with your bigpond address. If it doesn’t work it might be worth subscribing again? Let us know what happens. For this blog we are going self hosted … Unlike my lit blog which is the free WordPress, so there are some subtle differences to how it works.
