Thank you and new blog

Thought I should just thank Bob the Black Country Brummie for adding me on to his sidebar - I am hoping it might attract some new readers - will have to watch the flag counter and sitemeter to see what happens.

I have added a new blog on my sidebar which I cam across quite by chance while clicking on the next blog button on the top of my blog - it is called Black Country Kid and I do feel some affinity having been born in the Black Country and lived here all my life - I do realise it may only be interesting to 'local' readers but who knows it might appeal to a wider audience.

Also if you haven't already checked it out have a look at the Vicars Wife blog as there are some interesting posts of there too.
