Write down your exact email address that's in the comment notification box already on a bit of paper then delete it, leaving that one box completely blank. click save. Then shut down blog.<br />A few hours later go into settings then open email box again and retype in that same email address you deleted. then press save and close blog.<br />After between a few hours and a day you should get a blogger email( from Blogger) with an invitation to receive comment notification. Click Subscribe.<br />That should get comments back into your email again... like they were before.<br />It worked with me and it is simple just longer to explain than to do. Hope this helps.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-36432953429437381442018-06-29T15:50:08.555+01:002018-06-29T15:50:08.555+01:00Thank you for your kind comment - I think that you...Thank you for your kind comment - I think that you are pretty close with your guess.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-2460920958990720312018-06-29T15:49:02.392+01:002018-06-29T15:49:02.392+01:00I am sorry to learn this - I would send my whizz k...I am sorry to learn this - I would send my whizz kids to you if I could.

I particularly like the Winchcombe pots with the wreath motif. It has been too many years since I have been in England but on one trip we were fortunate enough to visit the studio of Richard Batterham in Durweston, Dorset. I love his pieces and have three of his teapots.<br />The national flowers are stunning. I would guess that you were in India or southeast Asia.<br />I look forward to your future posts.Cheryl Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669462404986779573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-64699405884269260952018-06-29T13:12:08.243+01:002018-06-29T13:12:08.243+01:00I also have problems - and no whizz kids to help m...I also have problems - and no whizz kids to help me sort it out.

It's good that your computer problems have been mainly overcome. Mine will probably be resolved with a new laptop although at the moment I'm managing with the present one.

She wanted peaceful weekend place. She bought two dismantled old log cabins and two stone fireplaces from http://vintagelog.com/index.htm Some of those square logs are two feet X two feet thick. She designed a cabin out of all those logs. She had them sand blasted once the building was erected before the chinking started. The stones for the chimney's are also square and many are enormous. <br />She decided to leave her job and move to the cabin. She and her husband built a new life and business. You can read about it here. https://www.cricketscove.net/ Biodynamic farming is a big step above organic. Her is her store https://www.facebook.com/Twigs-Berries-193195140706301/ <br />I am guessing you might be interested in all this because of your interest in gardening and plants.<br /><br />Her husband is a blacksmith and a very old friend of mine too. I have known them for over 40 years we all went to art school together. https://www.cricketscove.net/forge-gallery-intro/ Have a look at his amazing metal work in the gallery.<br /><br />It was wonderful to spend time with old friends. ;-)<br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-78642634205886537012018-06-27T19:29:29.987+01:002018-06-27T19:29:29.987+01:00The pots are beautiful, and would add interest and...The pots are beautiful, and would add interest and style to almost any garden. We stayed in Woodmancote during our time in the Cotswolds almost 2 years ago now, and drove through Winchcombe to see Hailes Abbey and Sudeley Castle. I would love to return and spend more time in the region. It enchanted me. <br />I hope you soon recover from your trip. Glad your computer woes are mostly solved.
