Spittoon - a year old.  Add/Read Comments

I have just realised that Spittoon is one year old. The first post went up on the 16th August but the second not until the 30th.... wonder what I was at? This month has also seen the 200th issue of the Scribblings email newsletter - so celebrations all round.

While it has not been a totally successful year - several promising ventures came, sapped some cash and went - other projects have appeared that look like they could be equally as fun. There is my (limited) involvement with newly launched French Duck a cultural wine, food and holiday type site and what could blossom into something significant the JZepp world 'cultural' collaboration. There has also been discussion over a wine bloggers grouping that I am very interested in but seems to keep stalling in its inception. (Come on guys...) So things are 'happening'. And I have managed to get through the whole year without posting ANY pictures of my cats!

The Survey (if you havent yet taken two minutes to fill it out - go on, go on, go on, go on!) would indicate that the blog happenings reported on Spittoon are the least favourite portion of the site - which is a shame really as they have given me a lot of fun (especially Wine Blogging Wednesday and, for different reasons, End of Month Egg on Toast Extravaganza). They have led me to meeting, in person and virtually, a whole bunch of super people across the wine and food blogging sphere. While many blogs fizzle out due to lack of interest Spittoon and associated work still excite while the people I have met through it all still stimulate and bring fun and humour. All that combined with wine, food, chocolate, travel and photography bring a tear to the eye. Bloody ol' fool ;-)
