Your absence, for whatever reason, should not cause you to feel stressed or under pressure. Enjoy your holidays and re-charge your batteries.

I get that feeling about blogging when the camera starts to fill up with an assortment of stuff which could make several blog posts but there isn't time to process them and panic sets in.

I wouldn't worry about not even having the time to lurk, it happens to all of us once in a while (although saying that I have missed you and am glad to see you back!) I love that you compose blog posts in your head, I compose so many things in my head that never actually quite make it, it's good to know I'm not alone!!

Why can't the BBC make a series about her?

It's a shame when blogging (or anything) turns from fun into a 'must do' - kind of takes the fun out of it, but I know the feeling - I get it too if I've not written for a while. And this time of year, there's just so much to pack into every single day, something has to give. Am sure everyone will be blogging more in Jan/Feb when the weathers too rubbish to be outside, but the demands of Christmas have receded.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122661299040340465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-40645425247806820622009-11-30T13:41:10.887+00:002009-11-30T13:41:10.887+00:00Lovely to see you - we've missed you but know ...Lovely to see you - we've missed you but know you've been very busy so don't be too hard on yourself!dottycookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295592896941235130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-60946608197213405492009-11-30T13:35:54.445+00:002009-11-30T13:35:54.445+00:00Yay!
