An apology ...

So I would humbly like to apologise to Irene who was so generous to award me, and I will try and find 5 people to pass it on to in due course. Thank you so much Irene, I really do appreciate your kind comments and of thinking of me.

Have been ...

... tagged twice today ... from Jenny (Starcyl) and Irene ... and I wish to thank them both from the bottom of my heart for thinking of me. Now apparently, I have to open the sixth folder and put the sixth picture on here ... so here goes ....

... oystercatchers and seagulls on the shore.

Right, my next task is to nominate two others, and the reason I have chosen these lovely ladies, is that I don't think that they have yet been tagged (I could be wrong ... lol!):

Jo (Lavender) is my first choice and
Cathy is the other person I wish to tag.

Thank you all.
