I am writing an extra blog post today because it is my Bloggiversary. Nine years ago today I sat down, and decided I did not want my old blog on Blogspot, and wanted to write out the things that rattled around in my brain like dainty fairies wearing saucepans in a new, cleaner space.
So I opened up a new blog. And I called it ‘Ocean Bream’.
Not after the fish. But after a lovely, whimsical book I read called The Spellbook of Listen Taylor where a woman really, just really wanted to be asked how her ocean bream was, my love?
At the time I wasn’t married, but I was a few months into ‘seeing’ my husband, who I had known my entire life. We ‘courted’ for a while and then decided to get married in January 2014. So my bloggiversary is very close to my anniversary, and for me, somehow, that feels a little special.

Happy Blogversary! Here’s to your continued adventures and happiness.

Happy blog anniversary! We started pretty much at the same time – my 9th blog anniversary was a week or two ago. Kind of cool that your blog in ways follows your real life offset by a couple of months.
