Cornflower's 500th. post!!
I began writing here with only a vague idea of how the site would look, what it would include and how it might evolve, but 500 small and seemingly insignificant steps later it has grown in all directions and taken on a life of its own. The positive and enthusiastic response of the readers has been immensely important in getting this far, so I must say thankyou to everyone who pops in to visit, who comes back, who leaves a comment, who links to these pages, and who has become a friend as a result - you're tremendous!
My goodness, 500th post, that is quite an achievement. I have enjoyed reading every post.

Happy quincentenary: the sea glass looks 500 so lovely. Are they pieces you've collected from the shore yourself?

Congratulations! 500 - all in sea glass. Now there could be a book for the book club - 'Sea Glass' by Anita Shreve!
