It's exactly a year ago today, that I alighted in BCUK! I had previously floundered in 'Blogspot' for three months and found life there rather impersonal, distant and totally alien. Entering such an alien world as a total 'idiot' in matters relating to cumputer technology – certainly as far as its usuage is concerned – was dislocating; there were few reference points within the vast blogspot community.
A willy-nilly search for bloggers led me to blog.co.uk and after a cursory examination of the site, I signed up and immediately found the process easier, user friendly and most helpful. I soon got into it; in next to no time, I had managed to create my three separate blogs.
I cannot remember the first one I invited as a friend...but I DO remember the first to make a comment on any of my posts....The Walrus. He must have been one of the first...if not The First.. Most of the very first ones are still with me...Thanks......
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and hope to spend many more years sharing in the life of the Community....which is the first reason I would cite for being here: The Blog Community. It is so diverse, complex, interesting, stimulating, informative, jocular, invigorating, intellectually taxing...and profoundly enjoyable. Let me hasten to say...to keep the balance..
- that's me -, there are not just a few in this vast community who can be quite irritating, if not downright exasperating, but that makes for a more wholesome community. Good to be here!
I have learnt a lot since arriving here; had the dormant Muse of Verse awakaned, enjoyed intellectual stimulation and honed my philosophy of Life! Much of what I apprehend and learn in this life emanates from inferences and conclusions.....which I am wont to draw from careful observation and perceptions. The honesty and openness of blogbuddies and other bloggers have helped immensely.
For ALL your warmth, friendship, kindness, generosity and whatever...My Heartfelt Thanks!
Love You Folks! ![]()

Something to celebrate, Bushka, glad you found your way to our community...a great addition...
May you spend many a happy year with us...providing BCUK doesn't alter things without warning us in future...LOL...and driving people out with frustration...
Have a lovely day and GBHs and loads of love to you too...XXX-

I can still remember the comment...which was a gentle 'parroting' of a word (misspelt) in a short poem I had posted....
Thanks Mate!

This place is a good way of getting to talk to people you wouldn't normally get to talk to. As in real life, some are friendly, some are rude, some are open, some are stand-offish, etc. etc. I've very much enjoyed talking with you, Bushka.

Happy Blogversary E.


Do you know I've only just realised today that I've been a blogger for just over a year now. I forgot my "blogversary" on the day - but that's par for the course for me - I nearly missed my real birthday this year - only remembered just in time..... a couple more hours and I'd have gone to bed without remembering

I looked at the post! I'm sure he would have 'made up' for the oversight....

He was very contrite, but I didn't hold it against him anyway - after all I forgot it too so I was in no position to go casting stones, we just had a good laugh about it

No doubt, some recompense will ensue...if it has not already done so....
