I was delighted to be invited by Esme to write a guest post for her blog. This was a nice surprise, and a welcome invitation. That post is now up, and though the content will be familiar to any regular readers of this blog, I am nonetheless posting a link to it.

But my main reason for posting this is to suggest that you might like to submit a post for consideration by Esme. She has a direct link for anyone thinking of doing so, which can be found here.

If you are chosen, you become a ‘contributor’, and the blog becomes part of your WordPress profile. Although you do not have admin rights, you are able to reply to any comments, and receive stats on the blog in the usual way. I had a fun time doing this, and thought it might appeal to some of you. A great way for new bloggers to spread their message, and for experienced bloggers to widen their appeal.
A good article contrasting life in the city versus life in the country. Apparently, there are many people who’ve never see the Milky Way at night. Here in Nevada, once you’re away from Las Vegas, the Milky Way is truly stunning!

Thanks, David. Many people living in the countryside fail to appreciate what they have, and some yearn to live in a city of course. Such is life.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks, Kim. A good friend took that photo, and it was around three years ago. Ollie was only two!
I use that on my ‘About’ page, also for Google+, and Longshot Island.

That’s a photo taken by a friend, when we were on a long walk along a coastal path. Ollie sat for that one, because he could be next to me! I use that shot on my ‘About’ page.
