How did you start writing your blog?
And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less. Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote...
I saw that link on Facebook this morning, it's brilliant. Shows Liverpool as the city that it really is, not the one that people imagine that it is xx
ReplyDeleteAnd don't people imagine quite a bit!
DeleteI was prompted to put this up by Heart-Shaped who had been on a trip to Liverpool, and it reminded me that what I think of as 'just Liverpool' is actually a really good place to visit!
Well done for posting this. I've loved visiting Liverpool the couple of times I've been nearby and this post shows even more places to visit.
ReplyDeleteNext time you're down, let me know!
DeleteGreat link! My boys visited Liverpool recently and had a brilliant time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really alive place, and something for everyone!
Deleteso funny! I went to University in Liverpool and loved it. ashamed to say haven't been back for over 20 years...... must remedy that......
ReplyDeletein fact I lived in one of those tower blocks in the bottom left of picture 25!
DeleteNow that's just bragging!
Deletethey were pretty grotty...., the council condemned them, so the college bought them and put students in. I looked on google maps and they've been done up again now. so funny to see all the places I remember, and some new things. We used to go to Albert Docks and watch them film the weather on a foam map of the UK that floated on the water.
DeleteMy dad used to work in Liverpool & we used to visit a lot x
ReplyDeleteWhat was your favourite part? Or were you here after the riots when I have to admit the city was not a pretty sight?
DeleteThanks for sharing the link - I've never been to Liverpool but it's definitely on my list - it looks fantastic! Judy.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't live here I would have had a weekend here by now, guaranteed.
DeleteHaven't been to Liverpool since we took a school trip for a tour of the university. It's on my list of places to visit now that I can really appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteRemember to tell me what you liked best when you come!
DeleteLoved that link. Naaaa, don't think it's got much going for it. I've never visited Liverpool, I really should remedy that, especially as it isn't really that far away.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Beatles. Did it mention the Beatles?
DeleteI haven't been to Liverpool since 1997, despite not being that far away, I think I should remedy that too. xx
ReplyDeleteDo; it's a really great place!
DeleteIf they did my city I think they'd struggle to come up with 1 reason!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhich great Northern powerhouse do you live in or near? Leeds? Sheffield? Bradford? I think every city has something good going for them, if only the friendliness of the people.
DeleteExcept perhaps for Milton Keynes. I don't know what its good points are.
I haven't been to Liverpool in so so long. It looks so different to how I remember. I will, however, be spending quite a lot of time there from September. I'm looking forward to it now. Really pleased to have found your blog via Judiths. Please pop over and visit me sometime too. X
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing in Liverpool? Work or study? And I will be over to visit soon x
