Well done! Just remember you’re now long in the tooth. Glad you put the Miss Piggy quotation at the top. Quite my favourite! And I need to think of an appropriate pun to celebrate. Great stuff…
I’ve actually quoted her twice. A double dose of Miss Piggy. But when she says stuff like this, you know you need to give her extra
“I never get starstruck. With me, it’s the other way round. Guests are starstruck by moi. And if they’re not starstruck by moi then they’re simply struck.”
“Those who can do. Those who really can have someone else do it for them.”
Congrats
Thanks Derrick. A glass of Merlot to you 🙂
Big congrats my friend. I’m slowly catching back up with blogging after my absence.
Thanks so much. I really think you’ll like the blog posts you’ll be catching up on, especially the photography one. I hope you’ve enjoyed your time off 🙂
I look forward to them.
Congratulations, Alex! This is something truly gr8at to celebrate. Here’s to many more years of excellent blogging.
That’s so kind Ann. I still admire how prolific and consistent you are with your posts. Keep it up too 🙂
Happy anniversary! I’m about one year “older” than you. Hehe – so people love Miss Piggy but not Downton Abbey? I agree with that. 🙂
Ha! I thought you might say that. Downtown Abbey was good though. You’ll probably want to stay away from the upcoming movie though.
Well, I don’t know. I never watched it. But it doesn’t look like my type of thing. 😉
Congratulations!!
Thanks so much for your kind message 🙂
Congratulations, Alex. Keep up the good work!
So kind of you to say. Thank you.
Congratulations on reaching 5 years of blogging! Brilliant work 🙂
Thanks Richard. Amazing to think what’s happened since my first post. Thanks for your continued support.
Happy 5th blogversary, Alex. Here’s to the next five! 🎈
Ha! Well there’s still so much more for me to share.
I’m very glad to hear it, Alex! 😊

Thanks so much. So funny to look back at how the blog had changed in terms of layout, tone and array of posts.
A fine milestone. I’m truly happy for you. Your blog always lifts my mood. 🙂
That’s such a sweet thing to say. Really touching. Thanks so much.
Happy Anniversary! That’s a number worthy of a huge celebration. I love your film quizzes.
Thanks. Don’t worry, still plenty more to do 😃
Congrats! 5 years is a big accomplishment in the blogging game. Here’s to 5 more!
Thanks. In a lot of ways it’s flown by. And kneel up the good work your end!
Congratulations on you 5th anniversary. Many bloggers drop out before the first year, so that’s really something!
Thank you. That’s very kind. Yes a lot do, don’t they? How far along are you on yours?
About 3 years so far.
Congrats! x 5 🙂
Thanks so much x5 🙂

Congratulations on 5 years!! I love the post from 2015 regarding Jurassic Park. My son and I have loved it since the beginning. We’ve seen all of them and most 2/3 times. Land Before Time when he was little and the JP! We debate the what it sounds like when the velociraptors call for help! 😂 thanks for reminding me of the old days.
