I agree it becomes addictive but so what. You are having opportunity to write and express yourself and to learn from other blogs as well as give enjoyment to others through yours. May you continue for many more years.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799594980600477320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-38742211155597864592012-10-05T09:08:13.948+01:002012-10-05T09:08:13.948+01:00Hi Marigold- I thought it was time I tried making ...Hi Marigold- I thought it was time I tried making my first blog comment! I enjoyed your musings on blogging. I am off to an auction tomorrow with Steph, hoping to buy bits of old china for my next project (watch this space!).

I had a wonderful birthday -surprised by my daughter flying in to visit... She called and asked us to pick her up at the airport and we had three fun days to visit, then I returned her to the airport to go be with her husband. I also got to see my son on Saturday. Proud mom. Happy Birthday, girl. That's just it, I don't feel any older, but I still have enough sense about me to realize I don't get as much done as I used to. I also get sidetracked easier - a friend calls and before I know it - my day is ending. Loved the last post. You made your tea drinking friend sound soo smart. ;) <br /><br />Have a great day.c.

I too surprise myself with what I write, and I love that spontaneity, even if it can increase the pressure a bit!<br /><br />And I too now have friends and acquaintances across the world and I wouldn't give that up for all the tea in china.<br /><br />Lovely post Jane, and congrats to the winners :DAnnie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-63993372538254726622012-10-02T23:32:38.639+01:002012-10-02T23:32:38.639+01:00I love your blog and for me it is like popping in ...I love your blog and for me it is like popping in to see a friend for a cup of tea and a bit of a catch up. I look forward to having a wander around a few of my favourite blogs during the evenings - they are always full of surprises and inspiration - sometimes I see things I would like to make or bake - sometimes I get to go on a lovely walk or journey and sometimes I have a glimpse into other peoples daily lives and their experiences - but always there is a warm welcome and the most wonderful photography.

It can't be bad to learn what the lives of "ordinary" people are like... and find out that in lots of ways we are much the same no matter where we come from.<br />CheersHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-85706429413372276952012-10-01T22:52:27.597+01:002012-10-01T22:52:27.597+01:00I've just been catching up with all your trave...I've just been catching up with all your travels around Dorset Jane.

That photo of your book reminded me I was going to recommend something to you after the success of the one I read from your selection. It is called 'The Conjurors Bird' by Martin Davies and is a great story. I've already lent my copy out to a friend and I can really recommend it!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.com
