About Miriam Rogers

Hi, I have been married to Paul for what seems like forever & that's the way I want it to stay. We have a son, now 21 and a Greyhound who is bonkers. I play with paper and glue, I love flowers! and anything that I can hang from anywhere with ribbon. If you need me I can be found in the garden with my camera or in my craft room, come in through the gate, I'll make you a coffee or if it's after 6 you can join me in a glass or wine, or e-mail me. Housework is low on my 'to do' list.

A Milestone, A New Year

…and a change

1010 posts! something to celebrate I think, not least because 7 years ago I had a yen to start a blog but had no idea what to write about and more importantly who on earth would read it?
It’s all history now and I’m feeling the need for change.
Should I continue to blog?
Do I want to continue?
Should my blog pages stay filed away in the archives?
Should I take the blog down?

I’m sure had I not had such a rough couple of years with my health I might not be thinking this way but I am.
It’s the end of the year too.
And the start of a new one.
Should I just take an extended break?
Could I pick this up again?

I feel I have let the spirit of blogging slide, I don’t have the energy to keep up with you all and that upsets me.
Time for a decision.
Let’s not say never again, let’s just say enough for now.

I am on Instagram. Look for me at ikibana_banana if you want to see what I’m up to and if you let me know that you are there too I’ll pop over and say hello…
Thank you, for the good times, the thoughtful comments, the laughs, the memes, the swaps, the support, the cards, the gifts, the prayers, the friendship and most of all the love.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and creative New Year.

Week 52 and the last Snap of 2016.
I have loved taking part in Helena’s meme, thank you all for looking and commenting and thank you Helena for being a brilliant hostess.
I’m sticking to the rules for once and sharing just 4 of the hundreds of pictures I have taken over the Christmas holiday.
Christmas tree decorations, all red.

We have had these red teardrops for more than twenty years. There were eight of them now down to 7 due to a dog tail wagging incident!
