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.

Loving the bird – a Rupert Murdoch if I ever saw one!
Congrats xxx

Congratulations! And thank you for posting your wonderful photos. Your blog is beautiful.
A great picture, I agree.
Well done on your first K. Now for the next one…!
Congratulations, it takes a lot of concentration and time to write 1000 posts with photos attached. Now you have free time, I look forward to some more fine Autumn pictures
Many congratulations on 1000 posts – and good ones, too.
Well done on such a milestone! It’s always been a pleasure to come here to read your posts and look at the photos. xx
Congratulations, Mrs. UHDD. I hope you’re out playing and enjoying. 🙂
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!
Congratulations to the Scheherazade of the Northern Border! All that and school, too. I’m properly respectful.
Congratulations! Perfect choice of photo, I love it!
