A Post for Castor

When I first returned to blogging recently, I discovered that my old blogging friend Castor has passed away last year when I read the comments on this post.

Castor was a talented artist in Vienna and from my knowledge of him in the blogging world, he was a lovely and gentle man. He painted the profile image I have been using and posted it on his blog for me some time ago as I had used a poppy image before that. The painting is called 'The Other Death'.

At first I wanted to leave the image in my profile but I am now finding it making me feel very sad each time I see it. So I have decided to create this post in Castors memory and say farewell to him here. I can always look back and link to his blog so long as it is there. And I have given the blog a new colour scheme and profile image of a snowdrop while I wait for spring to arrive!

Farewell Castor, sleep well xxx
