A Significant Milestone

I began this blog on March 29th 2008,  my first post was entitled A Lovely Day and here we are approaching the 17th anniversary. Over 7300 posts, and more than 53000 comments from so many lovely people. On Thursday night I finished packing for our trip, then was putting my tablet on charge when I decided to look at my blog stats. I do that about once a month. I'm flabbergasted. At some point on Thursday, the blog notched up it's 6 millionth view. I can never get to know you all, but thank you for bothering to look in regularly. My blog strapline has always been "Experiencing God's Geace In The Everyday"
May you too know love, grace and peace wherever you are today...

    1. Oh yes, some things are never going to be decluttered. The BonneMaman tablecloth, cups from Paris 1981, and the old bloke sitting opposite me!

  17. Congratulations! I have enjoyed your blog for many years, words of wisdom, thought provoking, and the kindness of a well loved friend. I have never forgotten meeting you at the V & A in London when Floss came over from France. So many of us no longer write blogs which makes those who do even more special. Please don’t stop writing.
