On Friendship

Some time ago Lynn posted a picture of a paeony
just because she knew that I loved them.
I was immensely touched by this gesture.

This is my reciprocal picture:
Roses for Lynn
(without whom Blogland would be a very dull place).

I have had other reasons to be grateful to blog-friends recently:
emails which have made me laugh,
emails which have given me encouragement
and so many wonderful comments.

And a small parcel of badges from Lucille
Peter Pan and Wendy; Tinkerbell and MasterM's favourite:
'How About It, Wendy?'
MasterM was mystified
'Why would anyone go to so much trouble
when they don't even know me?'
I tried to explain that through blogging
I have met wonderful and generous people.

Thank you all for your friendship,

  4. Like Gina, I find it hard to explain to those who don't blog, but the laughter and learning and intelligence that is out there is astounding and I love it. What an era we live in.......

    The friendships are wonderful. Thank you for yours.

  6. I believe that careful blogging encourages a special sort of altruism and trust which is especially heartening when we see so much crass online behaviour (I'm thinking of certain Facebook groups) and suspect charlatans and fraudsters to be in the ascendency.

    It's a meeting of minds that was only made possible via the internet.

  10. I don't have a blog but my life has gotten SO MUCH BETTER since I entered Bb's blog, which led me to a whole array of wonderful women, some of which I met already in person and other whom I really look forward to do very soon.
    Thank YOU!
