I found your blog from another blog I was following one blog and now I'm up to about 40! I don't check each everyday but most are pictures I enjoy seeing however yours is on that I check pretty much daily. I think your is like talking to a friend and those are my favorite.

Inspired by it and encouraged by some collegues, who over the last ten years always seemed fascinated by my Loire Valley adventures, I've started a blog of my own some three weeks ago. It's a bit of a challenge writing it in English, and I'am sure that my few (regular)readers must sometimes burst into laughter for my spelling and grammatical errors. I enjoy writing it, though, as the Loire Valley is one of my few passions (I like cooking, but I don't have a garden and I don't like sports!!!). Not living in the Loire Valley and still working 80%/time in an office, I will - at some point - probably run out of subjects to write about. I will thn become the author of one of those blogs that disappear after a few months. Who will tell. In the meantime, I'm having a fabulous time sharing my Loire Valley experience with all those interested and reading their comments.

Now, they probably have little time and even less interest in keeping up the blog :)<br /><br />Your photos add a great touch to your blog. Even if they are not specifically related to the topic of the day, the captions are all we need. Thanks for those, and for sharing so much fun information with us.<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26254943000709029242009-06-08T15:35:07.895+02:002009-06-08T15:35:07.895+02:00here in the woods of NC for the summer, i am attun...here in the woods of NC for the summer, i am attuned to the weather too....it dictated what my daily activities will be.....thankfully, so far we have had decent rain, so i don't have to spend 45 min waterin ....and it's easier to weed when the soil is damp (not that i've done it all yet) I watch the sky & the radar on the laptop for my hr long walk, but sometimes i get drenched (u know how these mountain rains come up so quickly) but i no longer stress about that (i think age has something to do with it) Last nite in the middle of the nite, I heard the cat sparring with something that was squeaking, so my task today is to hunt it down.....yikes....there's always something to do!melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-51686169716065571102009-06-08T14:31:48.714+02:002009-06-08T14:31:48.714+02:00Ken

Quite a few of the young bloggers got into it thinking that they can make some money but most of the time things do not work out as planned and they gave up. However there is another segment, like Walt and yourself, who blogs about what is of interest or about life wherever it is and it is an informative site with no "pre-conditions" and where visitors do exchange ideas and thoughts in a very respectful way.<br /><br />So thank you for letting me have a peek into your daily life in your second "patrie" and i have learnt a lot about wine , cheese, food and gardening .The Beavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-8784804579325128972009-06-08T14:30:44.562+02:002009-06-08T14:30:44.562+02:00"La vie continue" was what I thought as ..."La vie continue" was what I thought as I finished your blog and that is what Isabelle wrote. You left the rat race for a more human life which has its inconvenience but is far more rewarding. I have been adding more blogs to "my favorites" from Egypt, India, Africa... France. I might never meet the bloggers in person but it create a bond. Some blogs are like yours, describing daily lives... others are blogs about flowers, birds and insects (le jardin de Lucie, blog vegetal...) others just photography ("Ramo Savisaar", "passion de la nature" , "faune, flore, regions"...) and the ones about food ("David Lebovitz", "Eryn et sa folle cuisine" "chez Loulou"...). And the one from "leaping Leons french fancies" whom I discovered through you. Just like food, you pick what you like and you savor the words, it enriches my life.<br />So thank you for taking the time to show us your world. When I retire, I sure hope to have the kind of life you have (it was very gutsy of you to leave everything and move to another country).Nadegenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-32505974292018586962009-06-08T09:39:49.826+02:002009-06-08T09:39:49.826+02:00La vie continue: and it sounds like a great life t...La vie continue: and it sounds like a great life to me ;)Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941076675305356648noreply@blogger.com
