DIARY
This main page contains Cloudland Blue : A Diary, with daily entries since 5 March 2005 (scroll down for the latest entries). After a long and hard effort, the entries re the recent German trip are now all up, as is the period since then and so, the diary is up to date...
Although, 143 days are currently still "picture only", across 4 periods:-
2022 (85): 18 April - 10 May (23); 6 July - 5 September (62)
2023 (58): 21 September - 15 October (25); 18 October - 19 November (33)
It is always the intention to update "picture only" days with the relevant text but doing so is, of course, subject to opportunity (and, indeed, memory!)
