Daily photo from Greenland

Daily photo from Greenland

This was our first glacier. It wasn’t the one that nearly spelled our demise, but a more gentle kind, enjoyed at a distance. And, yes, we employed the same Arctic Fox* to take the photo, and tried not to think about his rates!

*From the comments of a previous post this month. ;-)

On our summer holidays we might meet a single fisherman, or see a boat from a distance. But otherwise, it was just Jane and me, the whales, foxes, and ravens.

And a bit of fantasy for the weekend!

I love fantasy, and if I was better at selling it I would write more. :-) I’m still finding my feet with the genre, and paid subscribers can have a taste (or choose not to) with a short story about Derycke Burglehart told over six parts.

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 1

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 2

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 3

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 4

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 5

• The Ballyfoote Two-Step, part 6

Have fun. :-)
