I posted the garden path of my dreams yesterday... and thought I'd continue my walk with you this morning.

This is a lovely pathway, although it is quite a long walk if we're to go right to the end... never mind though, we've got all day.

The first part of our walk takes up and around the side of hill before dipping down between the trees to the valley floor and a very pretty stream...

We're blessed to have the sun dappling through the trees at this spot today... isn't it lovely? Just the place to set up an easel for anyone with the talent to paint.

How would you like your eggs this morning, boiled or fried?

Come on, let me lead you up the garden path...

...it's not as though I'm a hairy spider inviting you to my web

Well there's a thing...

I was checking some online stats to viewers of this blog (see below) a little while ago and lo and behold it seems the world and his dog are finally getting the message and moving away from Microsoft's memory hungy and incredibly vulnerable Internet Explorer (MSIE for the uninitiated). I'm a bit surprised there aren't more Opera users listed below, but gratified to see so many people using Firefox

User	Percent	Browser	Version
67	33.50%	Firefox	3.5.5
58	29.00%	Firefox	3.5.4
28	14.00%	MSIE	8.0
19	9.50%	Firefox	3.0.1
13	6.50%	MSIE	7.0
7	3.50%	MSIE	6.0
3	1.50%	Firefox	1.5.0
2	1.00%	Chrome	0.2
2	1.00%	Safari	3.2.1
1	0.50%	Opera	4.2.1

Something that really surprises me showed up in the list of operating systems used by the last 200 visitors to my blog... just look at those 78 really sensible Linux users okay, okay... I forgot to add the blocking cookie so the 78 Linux users is probably just me!

User	Percent	Operating System
78	39.00%	Linux
58	29.00%	Windows XP
45	22.50%	Windows Vista
9	4.50%	Unknown
8	4.00%	Windows NT6.1
2	1.00%	Windows 2000

Not just for all those who gave their lives for their country so selflessly, but also for my Dad who died this day 1989; I will never forget you.
