Just a short post to thank all of you who follow my blog. I have now reached 1000 followers and am thrilled.
I know it may sound clichéd, but it really is not so much the number of readers that I have, it is the interactions that I have with some of you that makes it so special.
I do love a bit of banter and I get plenty of that, I love to laugh, some of you have me in stitches, you are so funny. I love to learn things, many of you have taught me things, whether it be about blogging, photography or taking part in NaNoWriMo! I enjoy a good story or poem, which I get from you. To put it in a nutshell, between you, I get a good laugh, shed a few tears, become outraged, stretch my brain cells (taking part in some of your challenges), and am inspired by the challenges so many of you have overcome.
The most important thing of all that you have given me, though, is your time; time to read my ramblings, time to comment on something, time to explain something to me, time for encouragement. This I truly appreciate, especially as it is in such short supply.
So, I just want to say again.
THANK YOU! 🙂
Wonderful and congrats, Judy. You summed up the pleasure of blogging and this great community perfectly. 😀

My congratulations, Judy sis! I am not surprised because you are such a lovable person! I appreciate you a lot and it was fun and inspiring from the beginning on! 1000 is only the beginning! I agree, the interaction is what makes us learn so much here, what makes us see behind the scenes and often inspires so much more than the posts themselves.
I am glad we have you in our blogily as our Ritu sister would say 😘😘😘

Congratulations, Judy. I’ll certainly be cracking the beers open after hearing your news.
As I have said before, reading your blog, along with your style of writing, is like having you as my next door neighbour. That’s why I enjoy reading your blog so much.
Onwards and upwards is the only path for you now.
Cheers. 🍺

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
