Where The Hell Have I Been?

About four years ago I said I was temporarily stopping posting because I don't get enough visitors, but that I had a friend who would be setting up a new site for me which would get me more traffic, and I would transfer to that site. I then posted a few links to other sites, and kept giving excuses as to why the new site was not yet available.

Then I disappeared for about three and a half years, without a word.

So where the hell have I been????????

Well, I was waiting for that new site. Then the person who was going to help me got sick, very sick. He was in hospital for months, and when he got out he could hardly do anything and got very depressed, spend most of the day just sitting, staring into space (this was not just due to the sickness, several other bad things happened to him at once). It was two years before he got over that, and he is still currently having psychiatric treatment to keep him out of the depression.

On top of that the medical problems will be with him for life. He is in hospital at least three days a week, some weeks as many as five days. He is left tired on the days after his regular three day a week visits, so he really only has one good day a week. And he has a life of his own to lead, barely enough time for him to do that in a week. So that new website is not going to happen.

In view of all that I have decided to start posting here again sporadically (IE not as often as I would like). However before I start work on the first new picture I have one last excuse for delay: I have some professional work to do. Ironically it is based on pictures on this website. I am using one as a base for the cover of a book, and I actually get paid for that, peanuts, but every little helps. And after that I have to alter a couple of my pictures to be used in adverts for the book. I'll post all of that when I can. Then after that I'll start posting more of Penny's story, with new pictures.

So keep watching this blog, new stuff is coming soon, well soon-ish. Honest!
