A Blog Anniversary! Four Happy Years!


Time has flown by during my four years of blogging.  Journaling my weeks, learning different techniques, expanding my love of photography and 'meeting' wonderful and creative bloggers all around the world.   It has been amazing to connect with so many of you either through you visiting, commenting, emailing and following.  You have certainly kept this blogger smiling!

I feel as though I can sit under this tree with you all, enjoying a summer's picnic and catching up with all that tests our lives.


The different paths we take through our writing and photography.  Taking risks occasionally, but doing what we feel is comfortable.
 

The people that stay with us through our journeys and the ones that visit occasionally before heading off for further adventures.


 The colour that many bring us through our screens with their positive thoughts and humour.


 The sunshine with their posts and dreams, inspiring us all to continue with our own. 


 The dark times shared on occasion and the joy of witnessing the further posts showing that life does get better. 


 The brightness shines through eventually and new growth comes through enriching our own vision and minds.


Blogging sometimes feels as though we are swaying like grass on a breeze.  The ups, the downs, the being knocked sideways.


But, if you are steadfast and true to yourself, your words will remain and the world seen through your eyes will give comfort and happiness to more people than you will ever know.

So from one person to another, thank you so much for following along, commenting, emailing me privately and reading my ramblings.  I really appreciate the support you have given me through all the different social media platforms.
 
You're wonderful!!

  8. Sweet Chel, the past 4 years of reading your posts, loving your words and photos, have been a huge blessing. You have shared so much beauty and very interesting stories of London, the city and environs, your family, and work - and I especially love your shots taken in the beautiful English countryside such as these today.
    Congratulations on this auspicious anniversary - blogland is lucky to have you dear.

    I've been MIA somewhat! Had major surgery last week to remove my complete thyroid - was a bit more involved than expected but I'm doing OK and thankfully there was no cancer. I do look a mess though - today was my first day out but, because I'm not even allowed to cover the incision with a scarf yet, I felt very conspicuous! Bob is full of 'Sweeney Todd' jokes!!!

    Love and hugs - Mary
