Not dead yet!

One Christmas, the Queen described her year as her "annus horribilis". Well, mes chers potes, apart from the publication of the Golden Oriole book, which has been embarrassingly well received, I think this year is my annus horribilis. I won't bore you with the details, but I thought it was time I let you know that I am still here, still trying to bang the rocks despite the vagaries of fortune. Watch this space - I will be back, and in the meantime, my thanks to those of you who have messaged me enquiring about my health and prospects.

WHAT A RELIEF !!! I've been checking often enough to have learned a bit of Hiawatha by heart.

I couldn't agree more with Prairie Mary. It's so nice to have you back! I hope to see much more of you here at Old Scrote's Home.

Quite agree. Good to have you back, with, I hope some more bird pictures.
Warm regards, Mike and Ann.

Thank you all for your good wishes. I was particularly touched by Mrs Trellis's thoughtful letter, even if she was offbeam as usual.
More birds and more nonsense from me on the way.....
