Uphilldowndale, One Thousand Posts Later
This is post number 1,000, I’m finding it hard to believe, but there you go, the nice people at WordPress kindly provide a behind the scenes (or screen) page of statistics about my blog and the little counter at the bottom of the page says my previous post was number 999 and as I can’t recall ever deleting any of my posts this must be it.
I thought I’d dish up a favourite post, but I couldn’t decide, I couldn’t even decide on a photo (some of my favourite blog photos are huddled together on my flickr page). In the end I settled for this little chap, who fledged from a nest in the barn wall back in June 2008, (maybe its how I felt when I first started the blog, it was a bit of a leap into the unknown)
Tonight is a double celebration as I also pressed the send key, and dispatched the last piece of work for my course of study, off into cyberspace. Woooohoooo; me time beckons, the hills are a calling, time to get out and play.
Thank you all for stopping by and taking the time to comment, it wouldn’t be the same without you xx.

Yours is one of the blogs I check daily, and I’m always pleased when there’s something new to read and wonderful pictures to see. Thank you for all the work, and the enjoyment I get from your posts. Also please give Spud a pat on the head from me, he’s a great dog

Congratulations! That’s a real achievement. Many of my other favourite bloggers have given up over the past year, but you always manage to think of something new to say. I hope you can continue posting, and can continue to afford the petrol for all your expeditions!

That is a lot of posts.
Spud on Sunday is one of the most genius ideas in the blogosphere!
I look forward to my weekly dose of Spud!

The expression on that bird’s face is priceless. 1000 blog posts! Whew!

Congratulations on accomplishing 1000 posts ~ all of them excellent ones! I remember that sweet bird face and it is definitely prize-worthy and apt for this occasion to be sure. Also, a very hearty congratulations for finishing your course work ~ what an achievement and I bet you feel so relieved after all your hard work. I’m hoping you are able to revitalize outside in your beautiful part of the country … up hill and down dale!
Does Spud eat the apples or just play with them like balls?

A thousand posts! Wow! That little bird doesn’t look too impressed but I am 🙂 Congratulations!
