Family

The picture today is courteous of Bob & my Nephews (Tank & Chalky).

Well that's my first year in, 365 consecutive blips, and what a year I have had. I seen Blip as a great way to document what we have done as a family and something that Bob could look back at when she is older, as well as encouraging me to get better with my camera. Little did I know then how much of a positive impact Blip would have on my life.

I've had a quick look back over my year and I think that the script writers from Coronation Street or East Enders would think 'No way that's happened, no-one would believe that'. We've experienced tears, heartbreak, my mortally has been challenged but above all we've had laughs and great fun.

On my journey I've been met some truly remarkable people and made some great friends. As I've said before Blippers are just good friends you've not met yet. I'd never thought a year ago I'd be following, communicating or getting support from people in California or Oregon (one day our paths will cross). I'd name everyone that inspires me but it would take too long to do and I don't even want to think about the hyperlinks. However, there are two Blippers that I wouldn't feel right not mentioning, the first one being Yoga Mamma. We started the journey around the same time and quickly became friends and even brought our families together. Your friendship, strength, support and overall outlook on life has touched us deeply. You have a beautiful and loving family and Bob thinks MTM is the ultimate action man.

The second person helped me greatly with regards to getting better with my camera and got me thinking about my shots, I went fully manually through encouragement from Tonto, a better friend and genuine good guy you will never find. Throughout this year Tonto has been there for me and listened to my concerns and offered advice when required without wanting anything is turn, a true friend. Through his encouragement I've also reached that cross road in life where I feel I have out grown my camera and looking to upgrade within the next 6 months.

To the ladies in my life - I love you more than I will ever show.

A huge thank you to Joe, G and the Blip staff who help make this place such a wonderful place.

On a finally note Blip has also helped me see how un-appropriate my sense of humour can be at times. These are a few of my blips that have been deemed wrong by close friends and family - I love you all but this man has something wrong with his head - it's OFFICAL:
