THIS IS OUR FIRST POST IN ALMOST 6 MONTHS SO
IT WILL BE NICE TO CATCH UP WITH EVERYONE.
WE TRIED LAST YEAR TO GET BACK INTO IT BUT
IT REALLY WAS TOO SOON AFTER OUR LOSS.
NOW, A YEAR FURTHER ON WE ARE FEELING
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC. WE HAVE JUST COME BACK
FROM A TRIP TO TURKEY (WITH BIRDHOLIDAYS)
WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND HAS
REALLY KICKED-STARTED OUR BIRDING.
