We’ve been talking about the past, though really it ended up about our blogs and what we’ve written in the past. We’ve blogged for an awfully long time, I even longer than Tim, and I’m still friends with some of the even earlier bloggers, such as Blue Witch, Zoe, Anxious and Katy Newton et al; though BW is the only one of those mentioned who still blogs. Of those who started about the same time as I did, very few stalwarts remain. I know, we’ve had our day and it’s changed a lot, but I still seem to care about the old Razorblade.
I’ve been reminiscing about Hilda, my in-laws’ housekeeper, whose story I briefly told here. She was great, my children and I still remember her with a lot of love and humour. Telling stories used to be quite a thing, in these parts. Maybe it’s where I got it from. Tim said that some of my better posts were those where I told the tale. If only I’d taken more notice, I could tell more of them, perhaps.
Anxious. Was that Anxious at Status Anxiety? I used to read her blog.
Yes, that’s right. She came to our blog party in 2017, she’s a delight. We’re friends on Facebook.
I often wonder what became of some of the early bloggers. Some I am still in e-touch with and a handful I see from time to time, but, not being of a FB persuasion, most of them are now just fond memories.
Oh yes, I agree. Some people just disappear and I’ve never known what happened, especially if I didn’t know their real names. Earthenwitch was a friend of mine on Facebook but then she vanished and I never knew why. Purple Pen and Greavsie stopped blogging and I don’t know who they really are. Troubled Diva and Stegbeetle are Facebook friends, at least – but there are so many more.
