One year already!

Wow, that is hard to believe. I wrote my first post for this blog one year ago today. Goodness, where did the time go? And to think I dithered about "shall I/shan't I?" for so long and in the end all I had to do was start writing.

I think I was a little bit intimidated by the thought of actually using blogging software since I am not particularly techno minded, but I have to admit blogger has been really easy to use, except for the occasional upside down or sideways photos. And you know what, I'm so glad I started it - not that I did it with a view to having others read it, but more as a way to keep a kind of personal diary for me and my family and to write down some of the daft stories from the time when ..........

So to that lovely lady in Turkey who urged me to go for it, and to Chris in Cuba who said the same thing, thanks. Your encouragement was just what I needed.
