Mad Hatter's Tea Party

In a case of beautiful, nay perfect, timing this here little blog turns the big (drumroll please) ta-dah 1. And the post that celebrates this momentous occasion is actually the 200th. The blogging Gods have allowed events to dovetail in such a lovely manner.

So yay!


I'm not sure what I was anticipating 12 months ago when I decided to give this blogging lark a go... but I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I do! And I wasn't expecting to feel so connected to this wider community of amazingly intelligent and expressive people... There have been ups, there have been downs... there have been (Not Imaginary) friendships forged - Miss W, Miss Mex, Miss Mel, Miss Rabbit and the Shroomster (and you too Donnie...) - and there's even been a (admittedly pretty pathetic and kinda one-sided) flame war...

*sings 'memories' in a quavering falsetto*

And all this has come to pass with the only response from MrB being the occasional raised eyebrow. Harumph! Well, he's the one missing out...

So, self-congratulatory musings done with, it's back to normal programming, but only after giving the Biggest Shout Out to Miss Chesty LaRue who, if I had any doubt at all that she's a True Friend, managed to prove herself undeniably so yesterday by traveling down to the Deep South to surround herself with squealing 8 year olds, ponies and cheese&bacon balls. Thanks Babe!
