Hello again! Sorry, it’s been a while. Been a tough few weeks, and we’re just back from summer holidays, and it’s about time I get back into my blogging schedule for the year.

Holidays were fun, and I had grand intentions of putting up some wonderful photos of the cool places we went, but my SD card reader isn’t working right now, and I’m tired and grumpy, so I won’t. I’ll do it Wednesday.

It’s funny getting back from holidays. All the vision I had for new, for change, smacks hard up against the old and the needing-fixing, and it’d be so easy to let it all slide, especially when there’s this many loads of washing to do, and when there’s this much to change, and this many kids in the house, and this much Lego on the lounge room floor.

We’ll get there. The normal doesn’t swallow the vision completely, I’ve learned that now. It might go underground for a month, might hibernate, but vision, like Ashgrove Farm cream on non-homogenised milk (my new LOVE! I forgot milk used to taste this good!) always rises.

(One of the fabulous cows at the Ashgrove Farm, whose vintage cheddar I will always remember fondly. Even their orange cheese was nice. Did you know that in America all the cheese is orange? No joke! I found it pretty much inedible. Sorry America. Love you, hate your cheese.)

What about you? Have you had grand visions for 2013 yet? Are they getting swallowed in the mundane?
