A little animation

Since it's coming up to Christmas, I dug out an animated Christmas Card I created when we were in the deepest of darkest China. 

This is it - 

Christmas in Old Amsterdam

I'm going to be creating some new animations in the New Year - now we're getting settled in and things are in their places.

Hi folks,

Sorry I've not posted recently, BUT, things are about to change.....

We're now settled in our flat, unpacked etc and can now settle down to taking some pix and playing around with PhotoShop etc.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do at the moment - two photographs from Venice.

Petition

Not being too political - the last time I did that the Chinese government banned my little blog "Letters from China". Hopefully the Greek government won't follow their example.

Petition for Greek journalist Kostas Vaxevanis

Back in Corfu

We're now back in Greece - it's official! Been here just over 5 weeks and have just about unpacked.

Back into things, like paying our tax on the car, getting the Greek equivalent of the MOT done, getting pink slips from the bank, changing addresses etc, etc, etc. So, we're now back in the full swing of things.

I'm developing my photography website, Rob's Photoshelter, and designing digital photography courses to run next year.

BUT, right now we're in the midst of a thunder storm and being deluged with Corfu's annual rainfall in one day, or, so it seems!

Back to mopping up the verandah!!

Wait a minute (or perhaps 9 months)

What's that I see on the far horizon - sunshine? Can't be England, no, it's Greek sunshine and coming at the end of September - in other words, we're going back to Corfu!!

So, the blog will be re-started (kick-started, perhaps) into new life.

Watch this spot.........

Sorry to say.......

It all had to come to and end sometime and it did in January 2012. Well, a couple of days before the New Year actually. We left Corfu and our lovely villa to move to England and a nice house in Norfolk. I think the reasons would be obvious, but just in case you've had your head in the sand for the last year or so, the Greek economy went pear-shaped and our thoughts of earning a living through teaching followed soon after.

So here ends "Letters from Greece" and within a week or so will start "A Scotsman in Norfolk" - tales from East Anglia as seen through the eyes of a mountain-starved Scotsman - hopefully amusing enough to attract some visitors!! PLUS, more photographs - and to start with, one I took a while ago whilst visiting Ely Cathedral....
