Today we celebrate our 1000th post. I began writing
Tales from here and there about this and that around five and a half years ago, as an online notebook that did not have to be written up as formal articles. Over the years, some posts have been quite extensive, while other posts have been little more than one liners but I like to think that my ramblings have always been interesting. It is my hope that readers have been inspired to check out some of the activity holiday ideas, that the blog has resulted in them buying into the concept of making life a holiday and that every now and then a post has come along that has caused people to smile.
I was asked to compile a list of my
favourite posts,
10 out of 1000! and in truth it merely became a representative sample of the many and varied topics that have been covered in this blog since 2004.
