Hooray, it’s my 400th blog post!

Fireworks over Poole Harbour, summer 2014

This has crept up on me a bit. It’s my 400th blog post, so I thought I had better mark it, even though it has arrived at a time of year when lots of other things are going on – such as Christmas and a New Year.

My posts used to be pretty varied, but I have slipped into publishing far too many posts along familiar lines – about trees and about places I have visited – so I am making an early New Year resolution here and now to try to mix it up more in 2016. More on words, design and nostalgia as well as nature.

Having said that, I will of course be carrying on with the tree following and in particular I aim to learn more about conifers in 2016.

I must also make sure I keep up with commenting on other people’s wonderful blogs, as I sometimes let that slide more than I should. Sorry!

For the record, here are images linking to my 100th, 200th and 300th blog posts…

My 100th blog post was about various plants, animals and things that go by the name of bluebottle

My 200th blog post was a visit to the garden at Compton Acres in Dorset

My 300th blog post was a retrospective on all the varied posts I had published up until then
