365 days later...

Who would have thought a year ago, when I started writing this blog that I'd still be here now?

Not me, that's for sure.

I'm almost proud of myself.

Ok, I am proud of myself.

Especially when you consider the following.


Most blogs only make it to two months before tossing in the towel. Over a million blogs have only one post and were abandoned after just one day. 1.63 million made it for 126 days and 132,000 blogs were abandoned after one year.

Like I said, I'm proud of myself.

And my blog.

I love you blog.

Thanks for being there.

And thankyou to everyone who had ever read and left a comment.

I will be forever grateful.

Here's to the next 365 days.

    Congratulations lovely Emily. It is the best feeling when you make it through that first year, and it's not just a year of blogging but a year of wonderful, beautiful writing and memories that are just so good to have. Love you loads and so glad you're here.

    Wow. Congratulations. My first blogoversary was on February 19th. I didn't quite make it though. I wrote what will probably be my last post in february 18th. It's all got a bit heated for me so I'm out, for now at least. I'd assumed you'd been writing for much longer. Your blog is great which is why I'm still here reading and commenting and I will continue to do so. xxx
