This is my 100th post since starting my blog at the end of October (I later added some posts retrospectively from a private blog). Wowzers! 100! That’s a lot of writing and photos.
My 3 most popular posts so far have been:
3. Fairies? Sylvanians? Dollies? Elves?
I felt I should celebrate such a milestone. I was going to write 100 things I wanted to achieve however, it turns out that thinking of 100 things is harder that it seems.
