A Creative Spirit
I have not posted anything to my blog for a while so today I decided to get back in the swing of things and rejoin the Six on Saturday gardening bloggers.

I have been on blogging hiatus for the last few years because I became involved in a writing forum and ended up running the place.

I’ve just been tagged by Margaret of Cachando Chile and now I’m "IT!..."Thanks Margaret! Thank goodness for virtual travel – Chile is a long way from Portugal. Who made this game up?
