Hip hip hooray.. one year old today!

You are cordially invited to join me in a cup of tea and a slice of cake...one slightly bigger than this one.. to celebrate the coming of age of my Cowboys & Custard Blog...
I can hardly believe that a year has flown by and I remember the trembling hand when writing my first post on the 15th October 2007..
Would anyone ever find me.. would anyone want to read the ramblings of this particular blog..
Well.. it seems you did..and it has been one hell of a journey.. I am having such a ball.. making some very dear and treasured friends..and learning and sharing through all your amusing, interesting and fascinating blogs..
Thank you for keeping me company.. now go and put the kettle on and I'll share out the cake!

Congratulations on reaching a year of blogging!I feel quite proud that I perhaps had a little to do with encouraging you to start, as we whiled away those slow hours at the Chipping Norton craft fair! I drove through Chippy last Saturday on the way to try on my Wedding dress and thought to myself it must be a year since the fair. Looking forward to another year of reading your lovely blog. You certainly had no reason to feel nervous about writing as your blog is one of the loveliest there is. xx

Kettle's just boiled and pretty tea plate waiting and ready ... You have chosen a very good day to have a birthday my friend. Just think if you hadn't have pressed that button (no let's not think about that!). Some things are meant to be ...

Happy Blogday! I am awash with tea.. no cake in the house.. can I celebrate with a glass of wine at 6 o' clock please? (I have been up since 4 am doing a fair in London so might be allowed!)

Niki Fretwell said...

Congratulations my bloggy buddy!
WOW, one year already and look where its taken you!
I'm sure that you would be the first to admit that you would never have imagined that you would be organising a bloggers fair, if you had been told so a year ago.....well done to you and the inspiring blog that you so beautifully write.

Flowery vintage china plate and linen napkin ready for action....and I'm always ready for more tea....thank you!

Have a lovely evening Michele - cheers to you,

Congratulations Michele! So where has that time gone then? It doesn't seem five minutes since we were all welcoming you to Blogland!! And despite several vague attempts I still haven't got in to Bath to say hello. But not to worry, the V&H Fair isn't far away!

I've just done a post relating to 1978 and as I write this comment I realise that's 30 years ago. Aaaargh!

I've had the wine (6.00pm Liz!!) and am now ready for a cuppa. Sadly no cake to go with it, but that's probably just as well.

May the year to come be just as much fun as the first Michele, I love your amusing and inspirational posts. The new look 'blogtop' is great but I feel it needs a bit of accompanying music!! May I suggest a theme tune from one of the 1950's TV cowboy programmes of which there were many. Eli
