I've had three months of being a bit more than just sick. End the year worn out and started getting asthma and then landed into the Storm Asthma thing and ended up in hospital 8 days being seriously ill with diabetes, pancreas, asthma and a few other things. It's stopped me in my tracks for 3 months and the brain won't work along with the physical lethargy. So I haven't been up to reading your posts. The photos are beautiful. I saw snow falling in Japan for my first time and it is a wonder to the soul. Not so much when you have to shovel out the drive though. Your Wales seems to have lost itself in the decades - it's rocky outcrops could be hiding chieftains of old watching you. <br /><br />I missed what the Italian House was. It looks like a cemetery. See you sometime in 2017 I'm sure. <br />Lyn Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146524485259031028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825715484350621.post-73714664067707436942017-02-05T09:17:21.905+11:002017-02-05T09:17:21.905+11:00Thanks Liz, Carole, Peter and Declan for your appr...Thanks Liz, Carole, Peter and Declan for your appreciative words.<br /><br />Declan, 'slush' sounds so messy, but can be the right word at times. The 'snow melt' I experienced was thinner and disappeared quicker than what I imagine 'slush' to be.<br /><br />Peter, I too hope that such experiences help the writing in some way, which is one reason I came here in the first place. I like your description of the silence and crisp footsteps. I almost think I'm intruding with my sounds in that type of silence.<br /><br />Carole, Well, I hope I'm equally as good at transporting the readers of my novel when I finish it and send it around for comment. I'm over 75% done of the third draft. Lots still to do. I hope your own work is going well.<br /><br />Liz, In a few months you'll be here to experience again the wonders, which I'm sure will influence the new novel. Good luck with it.Earl Livingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581602514255629479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825715484350621.post-27339425607797600992017-01-25T12:51:06.918+11:002017-01-25T12:51:06.918+11:00Glad you enjoyed the experience Earl, I like your ...Glad you enjoyed the experience Earl, I like your description "snow melt" which we call slush:)<br /><br />Best<br /><br />DeclanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653748869190954369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825715484350621.post-31215531770201901002017-01-23T19:35:17.086+11:002017-01-23T19:35:17.086+11:00How odd to look through a window at outside furnit...How odd to look through a window at outside furniture as it sits there waiting on milder days. Some way off I'd guess. I remember being at Mt Baw Baw years ago and the incredible silence except for the crispness of my footsteps. I'm sure those sights will find their way into your work. <br />Peter Farrarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825715484350621.post-50165089385397412392017-01-23T12:09:44.267+11:002017-01-23T12:09:44.267+11:00Great photos and words, Earl.

Thanks for the appreciation of the blogs. I enjoyed those bird footprints, too; so unexpected that a bird would traipse around the snow like that. Have a great day yourselves. See you in a few weeks.

The magic might wear off if I come back to Corris often enough...I wish. Cheers.<br /><br />Hi Catherine, I love your phrase 'mysteriously homely'. Yes, it was, especially as I feel so much at home in Wales. All the best.Earl Livingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581602514255629479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825715484350621.post-66226816592309307362017-01-23T08:38:54.409+11:002017-01-23T08:38:54.409+11:00Hi Earl, Congratulations on being a Great Uncle ag...Hi Earl, Congratulations on being a Great Uncle again to Eric Michael Bahr.
