One year later...

Time really does fly when you're having fun.

It's hard to imagine that a full year has gone by since I made the decision to begin this food blog. I don't know if it was one thing or just the culmination of many things that lead me to that point but I'm glad that it happened.

I must give a huge THANK-YOU to everyone that has visited and supported this blog - to those that have commented or sent emails I truly appreciate the time you've taken to do so. I've enjoyed the many stories, recipes and questions you've shared with me. It has been such a fantastic experience - it's so easy to find points of difference but with food, that's one part of life were we can all come together. It is the universal language.

To celebrate one year I've updated the blog - it's now running fully on "new" Blogger - there's still a few things to add and a few tweaks to do but after yesterday's power failure which saw a third of the state lose power, I consider myself lucky that I was able to get this done at all. I do know there's an issue with the banner in Opera but if you find something else awry in the site, just email and I'll see to it.

It's been quite sad to lose the black background - I find it very soothing to the eyes but do understand that not everyone shares that opinion.

I've added a Translation Tool to the right sidebar - just select the language required and the web-site will be automatically translated. It's pretty neat.

To show my support for Farmers' Markets I've included a section just for them. Where possible I've included links that will have all the details you need. If you know of a market that's on and I haven't included it - please drop me a line and let me know and I'll make sure to add it.

I should add that new blogger seems to do it's feed a little differently so you may well notice that posts on the feed don't quite coincide with what is on the site. Apologies if you are getting old posts showing up - it's out of my hands at the moment.

So with one year down I look forward to sharing the next year with you all.
