Well I've finally got round to doing a blog - been thinking about it since last summer and now I'm here with a new way of getting down my thoughts - hoping I will be able to use this like a journal. Have been back 3 weeks now from visiting my daughter in Bangladesh and am still missing the colour, the sunshine, the atmosphere, smiling faces, the 
chaotic and frentic traffic and street life, smells, food - well everything really - it was so alive! I am wondering if the Western World has lost the plot? Yes there is poverty and corruption (isn't there everywhere) but there is also pride, curiousity, simplicity and spontaneaty. It was a wonderful experience and I have put my favorite photos, out of around 500 I took, on this blog - he so enjoyed having his photo taken and the woman is almost biblical!So back to reality - this weekend I am off to the Lakes to visit my eldest daughter who has just moved there, I am taking a bottle of champagne and will do some serious walking (with camera).
Please join me and add your thoughts, comments, things you would like to see!

I loved reading this great first ever post! Great photos!
What incredible photos ! That experience must have been truly life-changing...as the experience of starting a blog can be, right ?
Thanks for sharing your treasures !
Just beautiful...
Biblical, indeed! She just shines, that woman in the river washing her dishes and pots. And the man on the boat. I wish I could buy him a new pair of flip-flops. His look thin at the heel. Life at its purest. Simple, uncluttered ... how I hope they have flourished. For a first blog post, this was very, very good. - Jeanne
