Twelve months ago today on an important Australian holiday, ANZAC Day, I entered the blogosphere with this post. At that point this blog was intended for family and friends only and was set to private. That soon went by the wayside and I was exposed to the full impact of the Blogosphere.
And I'm glad I was because not only do I "talk" to fabulous bloggers but I've lurked on blogs that open up windows to worlds I had no idea about. It's like having loads of pen-pals without having to walk to the post-box. Actually, it's like having a Magic 8 Ball - you throw up a question, shake it into the Blogosphere and the answers come rolling in.
The blogosphere is responsible for re-igniting a wish to knit (it was this post in fact that did it) and therefore getting me involved in that ultimate time-fritterer, Ravelry. Now, if I'm not careful I'll fire up the sewing machine again sometime soon and it will be this blog's fault. And to celebrate my first Blogiversary I've started Twittering, so now you will be able to read my every thought in my sidebar. How thrilling for you.
There are so many fabulous blogs out there, each revealing a part of a new world to us. It's the ultimate in un-edited publishing. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
So, 229 posts later what have I written about? According to my labels I've spent my time chatting to you about my home, my family, my holidays, knitting, books and school. Very suburban, but that's my life at the moment; who knows what I'll be writing about over the next 12 months.
Thank you for coming along for the ride.

Has it been a year already? Where did that time go? Congratulations for lasting!
Celebrate the suburban. It's all good stuff.
I'm really glad to be part of the suburban....
Congratulations M, my (blogging) world would not be the same without you...
The suburbs is where true life is happening. That stuff on TV is all fake!
Congratulations - you have been prolific.
Happy blog-versary. So nice to have virtually met you!
It has been fun. Thank you for sharing the journey. I look forward to many more interesting posts from Easternmax.
Many happy congrats on your big milestone. I love visiting! Here's to carrying right on.
Congratulations on the milestone. We all have enjoyed the well crafted and entertaining journey reflecting on surburbia and particularly watching your briliant knitting skills in action. Who would have thought that if it wasn't for your post a year ago , you wouldn't have got into knitting and I wouldn't be wearing your first ever pair of cashmere socks!!
Who would have thought you would have so much intersting stuff to write about - Happy 1st Anniversay. It happens to also be the same anniversay date as my arrival in the big smoke 19 years ago.
