So 2011 has gone. Time to look back in summary and see what was learned, experienced and acheived. I was very lazy with blogging in 2011, and also photography with my Canon camera. I did still take a lot of photographs, but for that 2011 was the year of Instagram. What a magic iPhone App! […]

Xmas in South Africa and the year ahead
Long time no blog. I seem to be one of these types of people that blogs most when things are rough. When things are good I generally feel I have nothing to report.
