Blogiversary......gemmak is five!

Given that when I began this blog I neither expected to maintain to for longer than a few weeks nor thought anyone would actually read it, I still find it surprising when I hit a blog birthday.....and today is my 5th blogiversary!

There's been a fair amount of the proverbial water under this particular bridge in the last five years, some good, some not so good and it's been variably my saviour at times and a mill stone around my neck at other times, but what it has been is fun for the most part....and it's had quite an impact on my life in one way and another.

I've made some of my closest friends through this little spot on the interweb and as a consequence have had some pretty massive support from many, particularly recently. I've made a few quid along the way and I've also ended up in my current 'less than ideal' situation because of it..... but over 2000 posts and almost 128k hits later I'm still at it and you lot are still showing admirable loyalty and tolerance by keeping on coming back!

I thank you :o)

Another five years?....who knows....
