Corners of Home, Waffle and Inane Chatter

I was recently asked if after over twelve years of blogging I ever run out of inspiration for a post, run out of things to say or simply want to stop.

Well I have stopped blogging a couple of times, but always come back.  I have run specific blogs for year long Challenges and usually pretty much seen them through, there has been an odd exception ... I mean I got to December once on a year long challenge and then gave up!!

I have seen blogging buddies come and go and still somehow I am still here with over 600 views a day on this particular blog, my old blog had a much higher following and higher viewing figures but I never let that make me carry something on.  The secret to continuous blogging is that although you are letting the world in on your ramblings you are rambling mostly for your own benefit.

It's like I'm talking to myself, my fingers run over the keyboard as fast as the words whizz through my head.  Some days I can be lost for what to say on that days post, then a walk round the paddock with the dogs or a photo loaded onto the computer from my camera will trigger a whole myriad of words tumbling from my fingers to the keyboard.

A simple photo of a corner of home can trigger a post.

Someone asking for a recipe can mean I set to and photograph myself making something.  The recipe for these muffins is over on my other blog, where today the theme is potatoes ... see I can waffle on about anything!!

You can see for yourself here ... Challenging Myself

I have readers who have read my inane ramblings for years, some have vanished completely, some pop up when I least expect them too with a comment or an email and it's nice that we have a roving band of blogging fraternity.

I have met a few fellow bloggers, and quite a large number of readers when they have ventured into my area.  One lovely reader swerving up and onto our drive with such speed her poor husband who was behind the wheel of the car and was suddenly instructed to turn right ... immediately ... had no idea why his wife wanted to visit a random house on a Welsh hillside, but he took it in good fun once his heart rate had returned to normal over a mug of coffee while he drank in the liquid and the calming view.

But always we have gotten on well,  drank coffee, ate biscuits and waffled on together in real life.  And that's why I think I find it so easy to have ideas for blog posts, I am literally just chatting to my friends over a cup of coffee and a keyboard.

Nice to have you out there .... you are out there right?

Hellooooo!!
