Last Post

Dear friends,
This is my last post on Frogsmoke. I've decided to stop this blog for a few reasons.
In a few weeks time I will be moving to my new home, in the middle of my own forest, in the south of France (pic above). It's a dream come true, living in absolute tranquility, with the nearest neighbour at least one kilometer away.
The new owners of my current house will arrive soon, and I'm extremely busy moving and organizing things. In the short term I won't have electricity (and thus no Internet) in my new house, courtesy of the incompetence of the bureaucrats who run the state monopoly on electricity distribution. In the long term I will be a busy forester, taming the growth of 5 hectares (12 acres) of oaks and pines, and (maybe) hunting wild boar and deer.
It was fun writing nearly 4,000 posts on Frogsmoke over the past 2.5 years, and I'm grateful for your visits and comments. Maybe I'll be back after some time, but I'm not making any promises.
I wish you (and those near and dear to you) a healthy and prosperous New Year!
Romke Soldaat
