The blog tries to pick up different seasonal activities in different parts of the world at different times, so any photos would be much appreciated - they also help drive traffic to your site.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Very much hoping to hear from you,<BR/><BR/>With kind regards,<BR/><BR/>Ian<BR/><BR/><BR/>www.farmblogs.blogspot.com<BR/>www.aplaceintheauvergne.blogspot.com<BR/>www.ianwalthew.com<BR/><BR/>Farm Blogs<BR/>Ranch Blogs<BR/>Rural Blogs<BR/>Countryside Blogs<BR/>Smallholding Blogs<BR/>Homesteading Blogs<BR/>Allotment BlogsIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857867583072689277noreply@blogger.com
