Hello again, dear human bloggy friends! I hope all is well with you on planet Earth!
What a very long time since blogging ... and what adventures we giraffes have had! We've been on a fantastic nexcursion with Captain Gurgle in our new submarine, Necktunes' Chariot. I wanted to keep you all posted during our underwater journeys, but couldn't get the Interneck. Then I dropped my neckbook computer into the sea, and have had to wait till our return to buy a new one in Raffsburgh.
There is so much to tell you ... Captain Gurgle sailed Necktune's Chariot down and down into the depths of our Camelopardalian seas. We sailed past ancient giraffe citadels which have been submerged for centuries.
As the submarine went deeper and deeper, we caught glimpses through the portholes of floating seaweed, and shy giraffe sea-creatures.
And what wondrous life there was on the seabed! All these nexquisite little persons chatting together among the rocks.
We managed to film this friendly Fringey, who waved at us and sang it's little sea song! I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to visiting you all over the next few days.

Hello Raph! What a surprise. I had begun to think you were lost in deepest, darkest Camelopardalis. What a marvellous adventure you've been having. Your images are amazing and the Friendly Fringey's song is quite charming! Welcome back! Don't be surprised if you discover some of us have gained weight and lost hair since your last visit!
Welcome Back! I have missed your world and so glad to hear that all is well. Looking foward to hearing all about more of your adventures.
Have a wonderful day!
Oh, ho! What a delight to have you back on terra firma, Raph. Your colorful adventures have been sorely missed here in blogland. Can't wait to hear more of your undersea exploits!
Again…WLECOME!
Hello Derrick! Thank you, and I'm so glad to be back! I've missed you all.
I'll have to take a group of bloggy friends swimming in our ocean - I'm sure that will take care of any gained weight! Hmm ... I think my mane is a bit frizzy and dry from all the salt, though ...
Thank you Choices! It's nice to be missed, and I'll certainly be telling you more of our adventures. You have a wonderful day too!
Thank you so much, Grizz! I've missed you too, and will be visiting soon to hear the latest along the River! (Do you have underwater Fringeys too?) Glad to be back!
Omigod! Can this be true? Bienvenue! I'm putting you back on my bloglist immediately!
Welcome back Raph - thought you had deserted us. Glad all is well and that you have been having such a good time. Those underwater images are amazing and I love the Fringey's plaintive little song.
Thank you Solitary Walker - glad to be back on your bloglist! Giraffitude! It's so good to be back!
Heather, thank you! Of course, I would not desert you all - I've missed my dear bloggy friends.
Fringeys do have lovely plaintive little songs, and we're glad to have this memento of our travels.
Welcome back, Raph and all you beautiful creatures.
Could hardly believe it when you popped your neck (or should that be your periscope?) above the parapet (please excuse mixed metaphors...) in my blog feed.
We all look forward to the 'necks' installment.
Thank you Caroline! No need to nexcuse the mixed metaphors, they're great!
Yea, your back have missed you and your wonderful illustrated stories. Must admit i stopped bye several times thinking something had gone wrong with my blog.
Look forward to see more of your adventurers.

Raph, welcome back! What a great advanture you nexperienced! I love the sea song Fringey was singing so much that I have to listen to it repeatedly... Hey, are you sure that those sea songs are not enchanting us humans? Our psyche so fragile!
Hello Karen, Adventurous Art Teacher, and thank you! It's great to be back, and I'm looking forward to posting about all our recent family nexploits!
Thank you Petra! I'm glad you love Fringey's sea song. We keep listening to it over and over here too, so maybe our sea creatures are enchanting giraffes and humans too!
What a delight to see you back again. I thought you'd disappeared for ever. Lovely to see, and hear, what the family's been up to while you were away. Don't stay away so long the next time.
