A new day - my first post!

Well I did it - made the decision to become a Blogger even though it's such an unattractive, lumpy sounding name! I hope to share thoughts and passions for my home here in the United States, along with those I still hold dear to my heart for the place of my birth in beautiful Devon, England, with a little bit of the South of France thrown in for extra measure as my brother and his family live there.

Hopefully I will learn the tricks of this new trade and be able to share pictures of things I love, places I visit, items I create, and thoughts I think, and in turn share in things you may be passionate about in your life.
