20 years of blogging

 I can scarcely believe that today marks 20 years since I started blogging.

Here was my first post.

So much has changed since I started blogging in both the blogging world and my life.

Back then:

in the 00's

I worked in admin at the Royal Academy of Music

I lived with my Mum.

I was single and had broken up with my ex-boyfriend a year or so before.

Blogging was simple.  I had a small group of blog-friends who were mainly Christians.

There wasn't really any paid ads or influencer style posts. People were fairly simple and relaxed about blogging

My posts were mainly waffly, about books, faith, school and general stuff.

I blogged fairly sporadically.

In the '10's

This was the zenith decade of blogging. Loads of posts, lots of comments, lots of interacting and fun.

More of my posts became about outfits, crafts, places I'd visited, Doctor Who.  I tried to keep things really varied.

I blogged a LOT!

The '20's

Lots of my favourite bloggers stopped blogging. This is very sad because my blogging buddies are very dear to me but there have been some wonderful new additions to my favourites!

My blogging has become less frequent, life has got a bit more in the way. I post  about Doctor Who. poems, sometimes holidays, garden, nature, outfits, school, occasional recipes or food, sometimes faith.

I still love blogging and I appreciate all of you!

Special shout outs to:

Ang, Sheila, Ally, Bev,  Vix, Ann, Johnny-jumps-up, Ivana, Kelly, Anca, Kirsten- you are very loyal!

Here's to the next 20!
