This blog turned 10 on the 31st August, the day before my own birthday. I was in Scotland at the time, visiting family, taking a little side trip to Oslo, Norway and the main event was my nephews wedding.

While it was this blogs birthday I was visiting Dunfermline Abbey, ogling Andrew Carnegie's birthplace and enjoying the many squirrels and crows in Pittencrief Park. (Fun Fact: there are no crows or squirrels in New Zealand.)

On my birthday, by coincidence, a family reunion had been organised. It was fun, nostalgic and emotional in equal parts and I'm grateful that I was able to attend.

The following week was the wedding of my nephew Billy which is what prompted the visit and again a good time was had enjoying the company of family, friends and new friends.

While some blogging years have been quite lean and others have been more prolific, I'm glad to have this little space on the internet :)
Happy birthday blog!
