Hello lovely people, hope you are all having a fabulous week so far! I think Pip Lincolne of Meet me at Mikes must have known I was struggling a bit with this blogging caper as she has started a blog school called JustB Blog School. It is a fantastic site where bloggers of all capabilities can come and ask questions, share tips and get lessons on blogging in general. Lesson One was 5 questions which I have never really asked myself but probably should have before I started blogging. I thought I would share my lesson 1 answers with you all!
Why do I want to start a blog?
-to be a member of a wider community and develop new friendships
-to have a running record that I can go back and look at as time goes on (like a diary)
-share information with my friends
