Some photos

The Alps starting to poke their heads above the clouds as the plane got closer to Milan. I'm no Sarah Bloom when it comes to photography and I'm using my $50 e-bay Android phone camera.

For weeks I've thought...just let me get to Milan with Tyson. Let me get to Frank and Sally's car, then I can relax. This was the moment I was waiting for. Frank, Sally, the car and Tyson wondering what on earth is going on.

It was dark when we crossed into Slovenia and I saw nothing until the morning. My room has a balcony with a view of snow-capped mountains and steep-roofed Alpine houses. I saw the snow blowing from the peaks, and I heard a cow mooing. It's like living in a children's book.

Heading into town and looking back, Frank's house is the far half of the yellow building. The little blue thing with a pyramid roof is a shrine with the Virgin Mary in it. There are lots of them all over town.

So we went to Lake Bohinj 10 mins down the road...

...and Tyson had a lovely time.

I'm glad you both arrived safely! Where in Slovenia are you? Do you have an address? Send our best to Frank and Sally! I'm reading Dudley and thinking of you!
love,

Hello Barbara. This is my first attempt at replying to a blog comment, so hope it shows up. Thanks for reading Dudley and I hope the sore hand gets better soon. I'll email with an address and I'll pass on your best to Frank and Sally. I'll write soon.

Peter! You're going to be writing that book, set near Lake Bohinj, perhaps about a boy/man and his dog. That children's story is yours, just taking root. Thank you for posting these photos to let all of us mortals know you're safe. Regards to Frank and Sally, though we haven't met.

Cassandra, I shall be writing the next novel soon, with lots of encouragement from the gang of three. Thanks for all your help over the past few years. You will meet Frank and Sally when you and yours come to visit, of that I have no doubt.

Hello Jules. About 2000 in Bohinjska Bistrica I think. It's a great little place.

Those few pictures do convey a feeling for your
new surround. There must be some birds there,
too--so keep your ears open. It really looks like
a lovely spot--especially the snow blowing off the mountaintops!
