Elephant’s Eye on False Bay

Today’s Dozen for Diana is on my new blog. Latest Post widgets are on both sidebars. I’ll list the four recent posts, three from the original blog, and one from the new – while we wait to sell our Porterville home.

Jack of Sequoia Gardens Haenertsburg I found on New Zealand based Moosey's Country Garden. I’ve been admiring his display of autumn colour and iconic white bridge at his farm dam, since before Elephant’s Eye was even an idea.

Jack was worried about my blog fading off into the sunset.
‘Here's a suggestion - don't close down the blog, you are bound to lose readers, etc. etc. Rather develop the eye-dea, with Diana becoming the all-seeing, all-remembering old matriarch, due to follow her mother towards her century. It is too lovely and layered a name, and too well known to lose... No?’
Once we had bought the new house, I staked my claim to the new blog name, and its own Gmail.

Elephant's Eye on False Bay

This will be my only double post. I won’t claim more of your reading time. There will still be just one weekly post. Some weeks are going to slip past in blog silence, as life happens. (If you are reading this post in a Reader or your email, please click thru to Elephant's Eye on False Bay)

  5. Diana, I had no idea you were actually going to close down this blog, I guess I just assumed you would continue on here. That said, I'm glad you kept the name and I'll make my way over to the new world.
