Acknowledgements

I have just pushed out over 100 emails to J-landers, and this entry is to reach those I missed by email. This message is to acknowledge the condolences, sympathy and support from J-landers following the sudden death of my mother 6 weeks ago, on May 1st. Everybody's contributions certainly helped to make a very difficult situation bearable in those early days. J-land has shown itself to be a caring community, which I have always believed to be its strong point.

I sincerely hope all are well, or as well as can be under the circumstances. I do intend to return to blogging, but you'll have to watch this journal for updates.

I am currently blogging on my journal from Holland called The Shell Gallery. However, I am not active in J-land (with a few exceptions), and do not respond to comments from that journal. Do feel free to call round though.

  7. Good to hear from you, Guido.  I hope you will be back soon.  I miss your photos of boats especially.  Doc and I were watching the building of a boat on I think it was the history channel, putting in the mast, etc, and putting up the sails and then launching it and an image of your many photos of boats came to mind.  I have missed boats all my life from never having lived near the water, and so loved novels about sailing the seven seas.  And had my favorites, like Voyage by Sterling Hayden and High Wind in Jamaica which combined children and a pet pig with sailing the ocean.  Gerry

  17. Guido,

    I feel it is the least we can do after all the support that you have shown for others here.
    Take care
