Well, the blogging interlude didn't last all that long, did it. I tried to stay away for a little bit longer, but I wasn't really enjoying it. There were so many things I wanted to say and I missed talking to all of you.
And things I would normally tell you, I had no other way of processing. Like the incredibly sweet anonymous parcel that arrived for me from one of the Seven Days of Special swappers. Or finding a lovely new blogger who wrote a post recently that spoke straight to me and who I thought you might like to meet.
And it occurred to me that my purdah was self-imposed and I could just fling open the door and begin blathering away again - oh, the sweet relief! It's good to be home.
Welcome back! It's good to hear from you.

So nice to have you back. I must admit I was surprised to get your comments when you were supposed to be having a bloggy rest! x

Ooh welcome back, it's lovely to have you! Blogging breaks only work if your heart is in it, I think. If you like doing it, why stop?!

I totally understand. blogging is a silly thing isn't it?

Self imposed purdahs are the best because you can call the shots - glad you came back sooner than planned x
Posted by: Julie | 29 July 2010 at 15:52
I'm so glad you've been posting again! When I read you were going to take a break, I wondered what I would do without having your blog to read!
