No wonder you've been thinking about un-blogging. Can I suggest a steady diet of anything in a major key?<br /><br />Mind you, the constant pillaging of your expensively-stocked feeders by the wholly undeserving is a bit of a metaphor for life. So, best not to dwell on that either...<br /><br />The advice of a serial blog-deleter is simply this: don't.<br /><br />:)Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-22323275863683499202019-01-29T10:47:57.410+00:002019-01-29T10:47:57.410+00:00Sacrilege!

I’ve read quite a bit of it and enjoyed it thoroughly, so I’d be a bit disappointed if you decided to quit now! Good blogs aren’t that easy to find. Of course, I’ve meant to comment before now and to thank you for all the time and hard work you put into your writing, and to tell you how entertaining I find it, so just in case you do quit, at least I can now say that I’ve done that. Nothing lasts for ever, people evolve, their interests change and they move on. If it’s not fun anymore, then it’s time to call it a day. But just in case you are looking for encouragement and a reason to keep writing then there’s at least one person out there in the void who regrets not interacting more and who hopes you carry on.<br /><br />P.S. I’m a Brit living in the US so I particularly like reading about all the British birds that I miss. It’s -25C here tonight going to drop down to -35 in the next couple of days and my patch list for this year stands at a whopping 17.Jill Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559862083265244323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-74364058256167368782019-01-29T02:01:07.450+00:002019-01-29T02:01:07.450+00:00Two points - firstly please don't ever conside...Two points - firstly please don't ever consider closing down this blog and secondly, please don't ever try to make we sane folk listen to Mark Knobbler.
