I admit I get somewhat discouraged if I have published a post and get just a handful views on it, but on the other hand, I'm no author, I'll survive. I started with that bad hip of mine, and discovered a whole new world. Some of these bloggers have become part of my world, and I enjoy immensely to follow Johns dogs and neighbours, Weavers villagejourneys, Mels irish canals and ancient settings, Sians lovely desolate island, my fellow ministers wisdom and your deep knowledge and sense of humour, Tom. And so many more lovely and interesting people. I never publish cupcakes or nailpolish, just thoughts and stories. But for sure, blogging can be a search for public adoration, counting in hundreds of views to each post. But some bloggers are just wonderful, I am blessed to take part. If someone enjoy taking part of my wanderings, that's nice!Fairtraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517527131786415943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-18617177418981172112016-09-18T07:15:45.123-07:002016-09-18T07:15:45.123-07:00Yes - for me it is like letting my mind wander, wh...Yes - for me it is like letting my mind wander, which is why I go off in so many tangents. Sometimes I feel as though I am talking to myself, then I upset someone and I realise more poeple read it than I think. If I don't amuse myself, then I don't expect to amuse anyone else either. Every now and then I question it, but that is not meant as an attck, though it sounds like it sometimes.

I blog because I used to belong to a writers' group but found having to write a piece to order - My day out, The countryside in Autumn etc. didn't fill my need. So I left and began to write what I felt like writing. One day it might be something happening on the farm, one day going out for lunch (I am a 'lady who lunches'), one day having the bedroom decorated(!!!) - but it makes me write something and thus keeps mu brain active.<br />As for the blogs I read- if they are not to my liking then I don't read them.<br />People I blog with regularly (John, you, Cro, Rachel, Gwil) have become like old friends, albeit virtual. And because I am slightly less mobile these days then I like to go round a Welsh village at the pace of a bulldog, or read about some delicious lunch concocted from a few vegetables (and I often try these out). I suppose to some extent I like to live my life vicariously. But don't stop blogging - and this goes for the rest of the regulars too. I put up with Rachel's four letter words (although I have never used them myself (something to do with my age) because she is a virtual friend and I love to read what she has been up to - and the same goes for you too.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-26148057270856635912016-09-18T03:09:42.410-07:002016-09-18T03:09:42.410-07:00Thank you Tom, and when I write and express myself...Thank you Tom, and when I write and express myself as well as you do, I will be too happy to answer all your mails.

It was small lettuce leaf adorned with a quarter of a tomato and a thin slice of something yellow. When I queried this item with the waiter he informed me it was a 'salad bouquet'. I understand now why they've stopped people photographing meals before they've eaten them. It's because they sometimes resemble the bits you've left on the plate when you've eaten your meal.

And get a photographer to help - afterwards you go out for drinks and snacks where you annoy other customers while you laugh reviewing your photos. <br /><br />You wouldn't have much competition and lots of women would enjoying watching you.
