Moving!

A big thank you to Greedy Bear Bakes for this nomination. Although the Dragon’s Picnic has not posted for a few months, this seems the perfect final post on my WordPress blog.  I am moving to a self-hosted site and although it is not up and running just yet, please drop by some time in the future!  I wanted to thank everyone for their support during my time with WordPress and I feel very fortunate to have come across many interesting people and their blogs.

Greedy Bear Bakes has been one of my favourite blogs so please be sure to check out their blog – such a fantastic name and logo and full of tasty vegan recipes!

Three Things About Me

1. I enjoy wildlife photograph.  When that is not available, I settle for photographing food .. it is much easier to locate and tends to stay still for longer!
2.  At the beginning of this year, I completed a virtual challenge which involved running the 297 km of the Cabot Trail in Canada.
3. I was born on a small Mediterranean island in the middle of an air raid.
