I thought I should
post to say goodbye to you all. I haven’t
posted anything now since June and suppose I’ve just fallen out of love with
blogging. The coming weekend would be my
blog’s 9th birthday and it’s made me realise that I’ve been doing
this for so long now that it’s started to feel like another job.
I still love
baking, and still bake most weekends, but it feels liberating not to have to scrabble around each
week and find something different to bake, write it up, take photos, post it
online etc. It was starting to take up a
big chunk of my limited free time, which is fine when you enjoy it, but not so
much when you don’t. And sometimes I
just want to make the same cake three weekends in a row without worrying about not
having anything to post!
It’s been a blast
and I’ve loved all your comments and emails – thank you to everyone who’s
stopped by whether leaving a comment or not.
The blog will stay up and available (I use it as my personal recipe book
and would be lost without it!), and I’ll do my best to continue responding to
any questions left in the comments section.
I don’t want to
say that I’ll never be back – in a few months’ time I might desperately miss
the blogosphere and return to it, but it doesn’t feel likely at the moment.
To paraphrase
Douglas Adams’s dolphins when they leave Earth: so long, and thanks for all the
cake!
