Since June...

I have not written a new plumbean since June!  June!  Since then I have: gone home to Hawaii for the summer, written lots, deleted lots, written more, spent the autumn in the London rain, been rained on, read at least 900 WWI letters, taken notebooks full of notes, walked miles, broken my foot, been on crutches, fallen over on crutches, read lots, taught lots, bought new boots, seen dear friends, been terrible about phoning people I love, watched Downton Abbey, cut my hair even shorter, walked more, taken more notes, and come back to the States for Christmas.

Why did I stop plumbeaning?  Last May I started receiving uncomfortably rude notes at the plumbean.  I changed the settings so no one saw them but me but they were nevertheless distressing.  I thought about upping sticks and moving plumbean to a different zip code but that just felt wrong so we waited it out, plumbean and I.  And now, tentatively poking our heads out of the hedge where we have been hiding, we are back...

  4. Oh no, that is awful people were rude. Can't understand why they need to behave like that. I missed you! Seems you did, lived quite a lot, hope the foot is good again and hope to see you more!! Don't mind ill-willers, sadly one can't do anything to avoid them :-(

    Glad to have you back!! *hugs*

  9. It is a bitterly cold day here in Italy so I am staying warm and cosy by the fire and catching up on my blog reading. It was lovely to see a post from you appear in my Google reader. I was so sorry to hear you have had an unpleasant experience via blogging. Put it down to lack of intelligence and jealousy. Looking forward to hearing more from you in 2012. Take Care. X
