And as for the people, it is a little like the politics that we have talked about...there is one third of people here who are super nice, one third polite and one third very reserved about "new people" - it is fine. I have learned to kind of to look and see if they are going to say hi first.<br /><br />Thank you for the amazing compliment!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-40476027714941490252014-11-28T20:14:31.016+01:002014-11-28T20:14:31.016+01:00Lorrie, I am so very appreciative of your response...Lorrie, I am so very appreciative of your responses here, always.

Truly it sounded like you cooked the most amazing Thanksgiving dinner of anyone - ok, maybe save for my Sister who cooked a turkey for the first time in her life and we all know that she gets points for that. :) And yes, Gillian is really lovely and she does have a blog called Gillian's Lists and posts wonderful photos on instagram. She is definitely someone that I know we would both get along with! <br /><br />No that isn't Remi's arm - that was taken quite some time ago in Arles when I was working on a series of night photos that I (don't think) I ever did anything with so here it is. :) And yes, I love riding up high all the better to see...Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-38635468187778298072014-11-28T12:38:37.021+01:002014-11-28T12:38:37.021+01:00I understand Gillian, even though I am not a Mom. ...I understand Gillian, even though I am not a Mom. Know that I am sending you a warm hug. I hope that you did something special to celebrate yesterday, no matter how small.

But we live out of sight, so that's hardly sharing our lives. I remember when we had a town residence: my son and his friend were playing at crowd surfing their imaginary audience and had accidentally removed the whole curtain rail. After a week a neighbour asked me if I wanted her old curtains. It was partly kind and partly because I was making the street look untidy. Eventually the cold made me fix the rail. But her bafflement at my lack of care for the sanctity of the curtain still makes me chuckle.
