G'day everyone !
Thought I'd just take this opportunity to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a little hello now and then.
I love the way friendships have developed over the years that I have been writing this blog.
I wrote my first post on the 20th August 2009 without any idea of an audience. Just fiddling with the computer and trying out something new.
Then I saw the movie Julie and Julia and at the same time a friend directed me to the famous blog Attic24.
From Attic24 I visited other blogs and was enthusiastically telling my friend Ro about them, when she said,
"Why don't you do the same thing? If you enjoy reading about people's lives from all over the world, then they might find it interesting to read about your life."
So I gave it a go.
I'm so thankful that I did.
I've " met " lots of people and made many friends.
and amused.
Blogging has become a much-loved part of my life
and I thank you all for making it so enjoyable.
Cheers.

I'm so glad you did too Helsie! You're a great friend and I love reading about your life down under. I started my blog in Nov. 2009 after finding Susan's Naps Between The Porches blog while surfing HGTV on the internet. A whole new world opened to me. I just love the way we can meet other people from all over the world. I can't imagine not blogging now. So happy blog anniversary to you and many, many more.

Happy Second Blogging Anniversary, Helsie, or HSBA for short. I am fast approaching four years on mine, but our mutual friend Yorkshire Pudding has been sharing his thoughts online since 2005. We are Johnny-come-latelys.

It's so cool to think that we started the same time and found each other so far away with in such a sort time too. I so have enjoyed each and every one of your post of the past two years. I have learned so much about your country and all the fun places you and "The Ton" travel too..... And I do so enjoy including "The Ton" in all my giggles of the day as I respond.
ReplyDeleteKeep On, Carrying On, My Sweet Pal,
Kate
Ahhhh my lovely friends, thank you soooo much for your kind words and good wishes. You have all so enriched my life !
ReplyDeleteCheers
Helen
I've been gone for a while and this is the first I've seen this post. Keep blogging, because your friend was right...we enjoy reading about your life just as you enjoyed those first few blogs you followed. Funny isn't it...none of us move mountains, but the footprints we leave are interesting, nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen,
ReplyDeleteApologies for being late again!
I hope you enjoyed a good anniversary!
Mine is 10th September.
I got a bit muddled with kates comments the other day on Mrs Twins.
Heres wishing you lots more happiness!
I know our blogging friends are just the best!
Love Suex
Happy Blogoversary, Helen!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about other people's lives - and yours is very interesting! I echo the comments of the above readers that your positive attitude is very welcoming!!
