Happy Anniversary BLOG!

Fred and Charles, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Just noticed in time that this is the first anniversary of us starting this blog!

It started off as being a way of recording our trip to the Middle East and Africa, written by the both of us..... and now it has become more my blog, with Fred not so interested, having a more-than-full-time job at school.

Thank you to everyone who has come here and I hope we have been able to entertain as well as give you an insight to the places we went to, the attitudes we formed and the way we look at some aspects of life. It has been great to have your support.

It has been great to marry this blog with flickr, where we keep the photos, as I often think of photos as being a pictorial diary to one's life and I enjoy the way the two sites - blogspot and flickr combine and work off each other to give one the opportunity to either illustrate a discussion (blog to flickr) or to describe a photographic moment/image (flickr to blog).

Anyway, I think we will keep it going, at least for as long as anybody bothers to come this way and visit us. Let us see where the next year will lead us....
