Well, I'm really not getting to grips with the "new blog" site! So now it looks like I'm going to have to start firing up the laptop every time I do a post so I can get photos onto this one.....

I've moved!

 I've moved to a  new location http://krazyjayne.simplesite.com/

I finally gave up and hopefully you will find me on my new site....http://krazyjayne.simplesite.com/

It looks as though it's going to be easy enough to get the pictures on there which is more than I can saw about here.

Also google+ is closing down so it looks like the blog site will disappear.....new month in a new year brings a new challenge!

Home

Well here I am back in snowy Scotland having fun clearing our second fall of snow since our return on Saturday. We have seen more snowfall since getting home then we did the whole time we were in France which was 5 1/2 weeks.  Bill and I decided we weren't skiing this year, time to give our limbs a rest. We spent most afternoons reading in the sunshine, the temperatures being a very pleasant mid to high 20s on most days in full sunshine, heaven!

Blogger is still playing up with my iPad, I need to update the operating system but as the Blogger app has not been updated it will cease to operate if I do! I must learn, make that relearn, how to load photographs using the full site again and then maybe I will get somewhere.

So I'm now going to try and load some photos on here, let us see if I am successful!

No, I keep getting a publishing error message!

Grrrrrr.......

The next post may purely be photographs!!!
