You live in such a charming area...Dearest Rosemary,<br />You live in such a charming area and it makes for plenty of interesting walks and lots of photo options!<br />Well, as of yesterday, Memorial day, I managed to finish my Mega scanning project. My dear Mom's handwritten letters were the final letters. I'd started out with Pieter's Mom's letters written from 1983 on. Some more dear family members and friends in-between and only till 2010 as really from then on the Internet has taken the place of handwriting. Sad in a way as it is an art and shows lots of class. I've trashed some sloppily written letters from some people as I don't want to strain my eyes for making something out of it... <br />Love my Apple Mac and also my MacBook. I let Pieter read the letters one final time as he's only using the iPad, not the MacBook or iMac. It gave him great pleasure too and in a couple of days he will have caught up.<br />Sending you hugs and best wishes for your continuation with happy blogging!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-48467540600240672632018-05-22T22:01:18.231+01:002018-05-22T22:01:18.231+01:00Thank you Jenny - I am really hoping that the prob...Thank you Jenny - I am really hoping that the problem may have been solved - fingers crossed.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-48904887596130769912018-05-22T18:39:49.064+01:002018-05-22T18:39:49.064+01:00I'm sorry that the computer has been causing p...I'm sorry that the computer has been causing problems. Your post was beautiful enough for me to decide to look up Buscot House - I had thought I'd been there before but clearly I must be thinking of somewhere else. We were not so very far from it a week or two ago. Good luck with getting the technology under control and look forward to more posts soon.

I want to step right into your pictures and take a long walk amongst the trees. <br /><br />Take the bull by his horns and get a new computer. My Dell is more than 10 years old and still going strong. <br />I have a computer guru come by every few months. He "cleans up" my messes.<br /><br />Please do not forsake us. I look forward to each and every one of your posts.

A gentle reminder to make the most of precious time and enjoy the seasons too. Buscot is beautiful, and I particularly love the fresh green colour of an English Spring - something we do not see here.
