The end of the year is hurtling towards us now. Here at Archives Outside we wish you all the best for a lovely festive season and hope that you have a safe and happy new year!
We thank you!
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful support you have given us over the last seven months (yes, we are still in nappies) and we hope you have enjoyed reading our posts as much as we have had writing them. Special thanks goes to our guest posters and those who have left comments: this has really created a sense of community at the blog. For all those lurkers out there, we thank you too…stay tuned for a special ‘lurker’ post in the future.
