End of May? I shall be there over the BH weekend - although precise timings not yet sorted. A cup of boiled compost in a cafe could be on the cards?

How's everyone doing with their blogs?

A chore or do you enjoy it?

Wordpress have just sent a useful stats summary for their blogs - did you get it?

I'm wondering....

Blogs, writing and reading,

Facebook,

Twitter,

Downsizer and other forums....and whatever else fills your Internet days..

How do you find the time? I mean, between work, children, friends, spouses, gardens, cooking, housekeeping and other hobbies..

Just wondering

Still plodding away with mine. Mostly on https://bellecrosshens.blogspot.com/
rather than
https://annie-ayearinthelifeof.blogspot.com/

I find it useful for looking back on...I was fretting about not starting the hedging over Christmas, looking back at my blog I realised we didn't start until the end of January last year

Also it keeps Dad in touch with our comings and goings, more important than ever since Mum's death.

I'm really enjoying doing Art's little blog, don't know if any of our family and friends actually read it, I send them links when I put pics up sometimes. My inlaws are funny about having their pictures online, so I end up password protecting some posts, which is annoying.

I think it'll be really nice to look back on one day.

That's a great blog... I am sure when he is older it will become a great treasure to him. I find friends and family do check the blog - not every post but from time to time when they get a few moments.

Well....should have added that also retired, no children and no television in the house so time is a little easier to find for things we want to do...

Blogging has been a great help, and now I'm making a few sales via the blog too-potters buy pots!

No TV does help

My blog is two years old, and I post almost every day. It is about living on a small income, my hobbies and interests. Walking, holidays and days out, photography, crafty stuff, arty stuff, growing veg, frugal and simple living, and anything that takes my fancy.

I find my blog goes in cycles - Jan->August, then dies a death then comes back the following year

Odd that.

Going to be more frequent this year (yeah right) now it's about the allotment taking shape in the back garden!
