...and that's what it's all about.
If you've ever passed this way and read a post or left a comment, then I just want to thank you for all your support - it means so much...and as for all my blogging pals, well what can I say? It's such a pleasure to have got to know you all, and here's to many happy times ahead!
Of course, things have changed since those early days. The "blogging with a vengeance" which was once a feature of this blog is no longer possible, as I'm not allowed to blog from work whilst on teabreak/lunchtime, which has had a significant impact on my blogging activity as I don't always have the time/energy/inclination in the evenings to blog as frequently as I used to. However, I will continue to maintain my "first born" blog which will always be special to me, so all things being well, you can look forward to at least five more years of EuropeCrazy :)))))

Congratulations, Laura! Keep up the good work!
Many happy returns Laura! If the next five years are half as good as the first this blog will still be a cut above! x

Thanks for your lovely comments! I'll certainly try my best to keep the blog going, although at the moment there just aren't enough hours in the day :)
