One Year of Blogging
It’s time to get out the party hats, bake a cake and hire a clown. One year ago on the 14th of March I first put fingers to keyboard and created this blog. that’s one year of blogging already. When I started there were no cartoons and I had no idea what direction I was going to take it in. It has been a lot of fun developing a style over the last 12 months and it is very rewarding to know I have made a few people laugh along the way. Thank you everyone who has followed my mad ramblings and given their support. Welcome to any new readers as well.
Here are a few highlights from the blogs first year:
An Unexpected Beginning
The first ever post and the story of how I accidentally ended up living in The Netherlands.
Sex Sells
The first ever post with a cartoon and some details about the stranger side of Amsterdam.
Holland Reality Show
The truth about Holland’s biggest secret.
Don’t Fear the Mime
There are many strange sites to see when walking around Amsterdam and you don’t have to have visited a coffee shop first.
The Lift of Terror
The story of my evening trapped in a lift in an empty office.
The Long Way Home
Proof of how accident prone I can be; eight hours walking around lost with a broken ankle.
Undercover Englishman
The language barrier might only be small but it does not make it any easier to hide your identity as an expat.
Stuarts Dad and I were a bit concerned but we knew he had to go for it. It was only for six months and he could come home any time he wanted. Six years later he is still there and I have an office and storage for all my craft stuff (a lot of which I buy in Holland when we come over)If he hadn’t gone would he ever have discovered his writing talent. (He was always good at drawing.)
Congratulations Stu!! Here’s looking at many more years and your site getting all the recognition it deserves.
