Hi everyone

Quick query

When I came back to blogland, Blogger was offering to transfer? (I think thats it) or whatever, to Google+

Anyone tried it?

Where have I been ...

Thank you to those who are still popping into my little blog and saying Hi.  It has meant a lot to me.

N.B - I have fixed up my last post about my Round Ripple, if you were unable to read it

As you may now guess, I have finally got all the gadgets I need to blog again.

One small gift led to quite a few little gadgets  :-)

Now during my voluntary internet break, I did have a holiday

N.B. - These photos are all taken with an iPhone or an iPad, our camera went MIA on this holiday with all the best photos on it  :-(

Here are some clues to where I went -

** It involved a 6 hour flight on Christmas Eve night

** I arrived 20 hours before I left - ie Christmas Eve morning

** A 5 hour wait at an open-air airport

** Then a 45 minute flight on this

A very short 5-10 minute drive

Then a ride on this

A greeting by this guy  :-) - Tangaroa

Then a short toddle off to these views - this is only a partial view

It was so hard to capture the colours

Unless you have a wham-bam camera and can fiddle with it

The colours were even more extraordinary when there was cloud cover - the change was amazing

Our bungalow - another view

Another view from the web

If you look at the large island, follow it on the right till it hooks

See that tiny, weeny island just off there - yep, that's where we were

So...... would you like to know where this is???

Well, if you look on a globe or a world map you would not be able to find it

This map is the best I could find.  It is from the Resort's website

I have so much more to tell

But I will save that for another time

I am trying a new way to write this post, until I get some necessary add-ons

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may have noticed the lack of crochet ripples, even though I really love the look of them.

I have had trouble with my starting rows, and even though I worked the pattern out ...... Eventually, that first row bothered me greatly. It just was not right. So I ignored ripples and admired them from afar.

Btw I found out since that I really don't like going back and forth. I am crazier than that, round and round is my thing

I have had a pattern sitting in my Ravelry queue for forever, and last November The time was right to give it a go - A Very Special gift was required

So .............

Until

I get my computer up and running or work out how to do this, Here is a post for you http://www.flickr.com/photos/aussiemaria/6710775875/
