    Hey there Newbie Spikey!
    (for your info, a Spikey is the term for folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂

    Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.

    Blogging since June 2013, my aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations, opinions and lighter-hearted stuff thrown in for good measure.

    I normally keep to a couple of posts a day, maybe 3-4 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.

    Thanks again and hope you have a great day…

    Congratulations Deidra, you’ve got so many awards, can’t believe it. I read a few posts along the way since this is my first time viewing it. You have some amazing imaginations and stories to tell.

    I was wondering, how did you get the awards you said above?
    Not trying to be rude.

    Keep up the good work 🙂 🙂 ❤

      Hi,
      That’s not rude at all. I just did what I do, which for me was write stories and post funny pictures. Over time, I got better, practice really does make perfect (or in my case better). Sometimes I waiver and take a break from my blog, not intentionally and I’m working on consistency. That’s it, just keep on doing what you do and keep getting better at it. I started this blog more than five years ago. Enjoy it.
      Thank you.
      Dee
