A Big Thank-you, Fritillaria and Proust

19 Mar

1   My 1000th follower has signed up today! Thank you so much to all of you who follow, like and take the time to comment. I started this blog in 2011 for myself and to honour my beautiful friend of 30 years whom we lost too early to cancer.  I wanted to seize the day, look for the positive in everything in a tangible way and really see the beauty all around me. I have been delighted by the responses from readers all around the world, from 151 countries in fact!   This bouquet of mixed daffodils from our garden is for all of you!

    Ohhh, spring flowers. I did see some snowdrops before the two feet of snow buried them. Congratulations on your one thousandth follower. Happy to have met you in person too.
