­Well if you won't follow me on Twitter,
will you follow me to my new home?­

I am returning to the fold (yes, my voice will still be heard there sometimes) and leaving you with something to remember me by.


Click on a pic to explore some of my pleasures, which I hope will become your pleasures too:

A blog that feels like an attic, worth regular visits I think.

­These old cards caught my eye because I
have my own tragic story of skin disease.

My mother has told this over and over:

As a baby, I had the worst case of eczema doctors had ever seen.
When she had to take me on a bus other mothers
moved away, muttering that we were dirty.
When she got off the bus she broke down and cried.

The doctor told her that if it was any comfort
to her I would grow up to have beautiful skin.

And so I did. Or will.

I don't remember the worst of it myself; this is Mum's story.
But as a kid I always seemed to have rashes behind my
knees, and they were both itchy and embarrassing.
­
At night white gloves were put on me and my hands
tied to the bed so I wouldn't scratch there.

Grandpa Clogiron asks: Could this be about you, dear grandaughter?


I do feel this could be me in a few years' time, given the strong eyebrows, red velvet, the fact that she's in Oz and a general sense of being lost.

I will confer with Kahlila, since there's a Dorothy involved in the story.
Dorothy, now 90, was on an outing with the Abandoned Building Society just last weekend.
Can't be a coincidence, eh Grandpa?
