Winter
2004-2005
as
life's hectic non-stop party threatens to get out of control and really exhausting
You
may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
As
all over the world, the Power or Powers snuffed out countless lives prematurely

for a little while longer. Click on the photos to proceed.)
Devon
and Cornwall in October, a good start to the winter season
In October
2004, Kristin and one of her admirers went off for another visit to Devon
and Cornwall -- adventures in the valley of the Doones on Exmoor, Tintagel
and the Port William Inn in Cornwall, hikes along the Southwest Coast Path, followed
by some views of castles near Oxford and a walk along the mighty Thames.
