Celebrating 100 Posts - # 100

100 days of posting a comment and a photo is something to celebrate. I've discovered how hard it is and how enjoyable. I hope my "lookers and lurkers" have also enjoyed it.

Without doubt, Eric in Paris must be thanked for launching his concept. I discovered it via a strange blue mutant humanoid who inhabits the cellars of Dubai International airport (DXB). Bluey's excellent work lead me to see Eric's fine Paris shots, and Curly's fine seascapes around Tyneside - I was hooked.

Thereafter I needed technical help from Ham in London, and Denton in Ohio, and Gerald in Hyde. Isabella in Naples, Florida goaded me and supported my efforts (as she so generously does with new-comers), and dear Jing in Shanghai brought her special brand of encouragement, and also Mandi in Tel Aviv who lurks and demands to see deer.

Thereafter, came Edwin, KL (a master of his craft), and the fine team of Dsole in Madrid, and ......here I have to stop, saying THANK YOU to all my visitors and inspirers. Please have a cup of tea and a cake with me.

  6. Bugger...I was going to start my diet today, but how can I refuse such a gracious invitation (triple love meringue!)...

    You have such an eclectic taste and your blog always surprises, amazes and educates, so I find it a must on my daily tour ;-)

    Congratulations on your 100th and look forward to many more to come!

  7. Mmmmm: chocolate meringues! . . .

    Good luck with the next 100 days

    (I also love Eric's blog (and Paris)) and am working up the courage to reach across the Channel - and it will be easier at the end of the year when Eurostar comes to St Pancras International)

  10. It's a little early here for cake and tea, but I'll toast you with my oatmeal and milk.

    Congratulations on your 100th post! I got to your blog via Mr. Chris Saul and from here discovered Eric and Jing. You can think of Richmond upon Thames as the gateway to Paris and Shanghai. :)

    You're the only photo blog that I visit daily. Too much of a time sink otherwise.

  11. I would have celebrated with champagne! Recently started. Tough challenge, but as a newly retired and having some spare time I take great pleasure of looking around.

  12. Hey, congrats and thank you for the cake. I think I'll take that big piece there, yeah that one there outside the photo, thank you! And is that a nice fine-bone china cup? All white, how very classy. :-)

  14. Congratulations Chucker! Seeing that photo reminds me of a dreadful Andy Cameron joke, understandable probably only to Scots people.

    "Is that a doughnut or a meringue?"

    "Naw yer right the first time, it's a doughnut"

  15. Partial answer to your comments over at Villigen. Regarding the bone china, I quite like the translucency and the delicate-yet-strong nature of the material. But, I've just now realized that as an aspirant to being a reduced animal product user, I really must desist from it. How come I never thought about the "bone" part before? Doh! *has a Homer Simpson moment*

  16. Well done on your 100. Coincidentally, I got to 600 today, so unless I lose track in the meantime, we should be celebrating 500 and 1,000 each on the same day.
