Thanks all...it is indeed Sharon, as Maggi surmised (Ian met her at the Portland NARGS meeting). No date yet, but we are very happy.

Carlo, Sharon, this is lovely news - our fondest best wishes to you for a wonderful future !  :-*


Yes, Ian had the good fortune to meet Sharon, so, while I haven't had that luck, I can pass on that this lady is delightful  and Carlo is a lucky chap indeed.  
Ian says that Sharon showed every sign of being sound in wind and limb, so it must be one of those extraordinary freaks of romance that she is having anything to do with the orchid-loving Blogger from NY, but there you go!!   :o

oooOOOOOO I'm so happy with my new camera a Canon SX1 - the zoom is so much better, the Macro is terrific, the resolution is crisper and it has HD video!!!!!!!  I can't wait to explore with it but this is my first attempt at a Macro (which I'm not so happy with) but I hope I will get better  ;D

Thanks for your Macro approval Cliff - spurs me on  ;D 

Not the same game as a reflex camera I know but it's great to be able to catch things on the fly with my digital upgrade!

Looking good, Robin.

You may well find it is addictive - but then, there is an appreciate audience here for good photographs
