And so it ends (for now)

These are my favourites, not because of technical skill, but because I like them. That’s it.

My Favourites, a set on Flickr.

It’s time to take a break after ± 500 days of blogging here on WordPress:
524 posts;
± 109 000 views all-time
± 5450 comments;
± 5670 spam comments (!?!);
476 followers;
4 “Freshly Presseds”;
and 1.4Gb of photos uploaded.

I’ll miss it, but I’ll be back – perhaps after a 50-day break: 10% of my total blogging days. (A friend, Nicola Lotter, suggested that). But who knows – it all depends on how my schedule looks, and how inspired I feel.

It’s been real. See you on the other side …

    euh, je ne peux pas aimer ce post,
    je vais d’abord profiter de relire ceux que j’ai juste parcouru en vitesse faute de temps, mais ça va me sembler bizarre de ne plus gueter tes mots dans ma boîte mail chaque jour,
    peu importe, c’est la vie, comme tu dis…
    à très bientôt

      Je suis désolé. C’était très difficile pour moi d’arrêter à cause de gens comme toi – des amis à l’étranger. Oui, à très bientôt …

    I can’t imagine it will be for long ( and everyone hopes it will not). I do think you have blogging in your blood, or were born with a pen in hand, or whatever expression fits best. God bless….

    I will miss reading your blog each day…It is one of the few that comes to my email and one that I enjoy reading each day! I love your pictures and will miss them. I hope your blogging vacation is a short one. ;)

    Well done Robin! I just spoke with someone tonight, and she said how your blog has inspired her, and lifted her spirit. I had to agree with her. Many days your blog has brought me a much needed laugh, an enjoyment of beauty, or a touch of real. I will miss it, but that is my selfish part. My other part says well done. You have done well! And you will do well!

    Enjoy your break Mr!
    You’ve surely had a lot of visitors. I’m blogging and blogging, but for a tiny audience :)

    I hope you are not really quitting or at least not for long. Your blog and Esther’s are the only ones I read every day. I love your writing AND your pictures.

You may know me in the blogosphere as "madderinmada", "Rambling with a Cantankerous old mule" or "Vicissitudes of a Cantankerous old mule". But that's all changed and here I am living life from behind my camera lens.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy the visit.
