It’s our 1st blogiversary – what a virtual year
12 months ago we hit the Publish button on my 1st post with something akin to sheer terror. Was I going to be laughed at, was I a crap writer, was I too old to be a travel blogger? But I did hit it after numerous false starts. Actually, truth be told, I made Gordon...
