Blog Anniversary

Hello! Two whole years ago today I took the plunge and started my blog. It was such a good decision for me; I've had a brilliant two years. I've iced a rhubarb and vanilla muffin in celebration and popped a candle on top (not much room for two!). Would you like a piece?


Over the last two years I've made lots of lovely like-minded friends who share my enthusiasm for flowers (it has been referred to as an obsession by family and friends), yarn, gardens, creativity, days out and cake. It has been such a pleasure to document the seasons and life's small but special moments: the first spring bulbs; long, warm summer evenings in the garden; falling autumn leaves; frosty winter mornings; the year's celebrations and all the little things that make you stop and take notice. I know, dear readers, you love them all as much as I do and that's what makes writing a blog such fun. Many of you write your own brilliant blogs, and visiting them is always a pleasure. So I want to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who takes a moment out of your busy day to read my blog and leave a comment. It wouldn't be the same without you.

  8. Happy 2nd blog anniversary. Your blogs was one of the first I found when I started blogging 15 months ago and it is still the one that gives me the inspiration to keep mine going (especially lately when time seems to have been so short). I love viewing your beautiful photos and reading about what you have been up to and wish I had your skill at taking flower pics. xx

  10. Hi I forgot to say earlier I looked on your favourite blog list and the fourth one down in the list just says blogger, I clicked on it and it led to my dashboard, I am totally baffled as you have my blog further down, it was just strange I am just wondering if anyone else clicks on it will it go to my personal dashboard?

    1. Ooh dear - not sure how that happened, but I updated my list last week, so it's very recent. I'll remove it now and leave your proper blog address. Thanks for pointing it out, and for your kind comments.

  13. Happy Blogiversary. Glad you are enjoying blogging. It's a great way of recording bits and pieces of a life and is pretty compulsive - the number of times I have decided to call it a day, but still going strong...

  14. Congratulations on your anniversary! I do enjoy your blog. I'm a very intermittent blogger myself at the moment - I have got seduced by Instagram which suits my time-strapped state. I particularly love all the flowers you post. As you'll see from my latest post I'm categorically not a knitter, but I admire your creations.
