Hi Amber,

Hope all is well in the UK; have checked in from time to time looking for pics of the new Scottish farm-I’m so wistful and envious!  I can only imagine how busy you are and I know you’ve mentioned shutting your blog down but if you must go, may we please have a little tour and narrative of your new place and life?  Your fans are waiting.

You are so sweet to write.  I have NOT decided to stop my blog… in fact I was writing a blog post in my head this morning, but it seems so hard to get back into the groove.  I guess I feel like I have missed out so much of the story to date that it is hard to jump back in.  I have had several emails like yours and phone calls from friends in Belgium and little offline messages… all looking for me to start up again.  So, you all win!!  I will hopefully post sometime this afternoon…

I even found out that my friends in Belgium think I am blogging… just elsewhere!  Come on guys, I would never do that to you *evil grin*

So here I be.  Blogging.  I’m horrified that it is the 31st October and my last post was on the 8th September.  I have had no real intention of quitting Amber… Bamberboo, but… I guess what’s been stopping me is the fact that I have missed out so many chunks of my life over the last 4 months and every post I have started to write has either sounded like a stuffy run down of my ‘list of events’ or a long ‘To Do’ list.  Boring.

So at the suggestion of Alison (who is visiting us this week with her 2 kids and Allan)… I am just going to dive back in and you’ll have to catch up yourselves.

If there is anyone still out there, now is your chance to catch up with BamberBoo Land.  Is there anything you feel in the dark about?  Anything I’ve left out?  Any questions or picture requests before I trundle forward with my life and blog?  Leave a comment and let me know if anyone is there.  Throw me a bone (or a doughnut) guys and help me get back on track!!
