a change is gonna come

So…..I’ve been blogging for over five years now. Many of you have been with me through the loss of Stephen,

two house moves, three holidays with other bloggers,

daisyfae, nursemyra and dolce in Greece

the rise and fall of Corset Fridays, the problem I had with a cyberstalker, my son’s health issues……

The time has come for more change. I’m moving into the castle with queenwilly and The King. And after that we’re off to Portugal to stay in a windmill for 3 weeks. Blogging is going to have to take a back seat for quite a while. I’ll still pop up now and then but things will be sporadic until my return.

Feel free to rummage in my archives while I’m gone. Thanks for all the visits and the comments, nursemyra xx

  Thanks Dinah. I get a right royal welcome from the two hounds every time I open the door with more of my stuff. They’d love to get their snouts and paws into my corset collection

I hope you have a wonderful trip, though. It does make me feel a bit better to know you will be staying in a windmill. That’s just so… perfect. I’ll probably still have to rummage through your archives out of withdrawal, you know.

…so what you’re saying is, it’s official, there’s absolutely nothing to blog about in Portugal.

…putting your work on display is scary every time you do it. it necessitates developing some kind of thick skin because you’re inviting people to judge things that are often really personal.
and I really like your blog 🙂

That was you, back in 2007, on my blog. Not to be too sappy, but every time I saw your avatar pop up on my blog it meant a lot to me.

There must be something worth taking a photo of in Portugal, when you find it, post it.

And in the end we shall achieve in time
The thing they call divine
And all the stars will shine for me
When all is well and well is all for all
Forever after
Living in the meantime wait and see

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we’re just like you
We love the all of you

And when I cry for me I cry for you
With tears of holy joy
For all the days still to come
And did I ever say I’d never play
Or fly toward the sun
Living in the meantime something’s gone

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we’re just like you
We love the all of you

Well that sounds fine so I’ll see you sometime
Give my love to the future of the humankind
Okay, okay, it’s not okay.
While it’s on my mind there’s a girl that fits the crime
For a future love dream that I’m still to find
But in the meantime.

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we’re just like you
We love the all of you
