I want to thank you for reading the posts, which I hope you've found interesting and thought provoking. Although comments have been scarce, the number of readers has gradually risen over time. In blog terms, my readership may be small, but that doesn't matter to me; it's a hobby and I've nothing to prove and nothing to sell. From the service provider's statistics, I know that I've had over 6000 unique visitors to the site, who have read just short of 20,000 pages. There have been various spikes in daily figures, with the highest number of pages read in one day being 375 (by the total readers, not one person!).
Now, I plan to spend more time with my paintbrushes - and could certainly do with some practice! My mind is full of detailed images and I'm looking forward to bringing them to life on paper using watercolours. It'll be a challenge that I hope to enjoy as much as I've enjoyed writing this blog.
