When I started blogging I never knew how much I would love it! It is now well and truly a part of my life, I am hooked! Something I really didn’t expect though was that I would make some lovely friends along the way. Motherhood can be a lonely place sometimes and you aren’t always able to get out of the house- you find yourself feeling low and have nobody there to understand.
The blogging world has welcomed me with open arms and I feel part of a fantastic community. One person who has been there right from the beginning has been Jenna. We clicked early on and I found myself emailing her when I felt there was nobody else in the world who would understand. Up until a month ago we had never met but would talk every day. We met for the first time at Blogfest but with the madness of it all I didn’t feel like we had properly been able to have a chat.
This weekend we went to Cambridge and had the best time! We walked for miles (must use a map or a sat nav next time!!) and happily chatted the whole time. We has a delicious lunch and I felt as if we had known each other for years! As we sat laughing about this and that I felt so thankful that I started blogging as otherwise I would never have got to know such a lovely lady!
Here are a few snaps of our day out, not many I am afraid as we were too busy chatting and getting lost!
Strolling along the river (trying not to drop my phone!!)
Pulled pork burger with added Wotsits!! (It came like that- I am not weird-much)
A lovely view, even if we were a bit lost!

[…] so much in such a short amount of time. I have made new friends and feel like I am myself again. Blogging has brought me to life! I feel like I have been hiding under the ‘mummy’ umbrella for a long time and used it […]

Your pictures are so lovely, what camera did you use to take them? So many lovely surprises seems to come from blogging. So many warm hands and hearts in the blogosphere; so pleased you've got a close for keeps from it :-) I've just started blogging (12 days today) but I've had positive experiences reaching out to bloggers from months ago when I started thinking of it. It's lovely, isn't it? A group so giving.

Thank you :-) they were taken on my phone. I have a Nokia Lumia 925 and the Lumias are known for the camera. I used Instagram to add the better effects though :-) Welcome to the world of blogging! I will go check out your blog now and say hi! xxx

Love this post! I feel exactly the same, I wish I'd started blogging when I had Lili 4 years ago, it would have helped me so much.
For some reason I thought you and Jenna were friends before blogging.

A lot of people have thought that :-) but no, only 'known' each other since May! How long have you been blogging Heledd? I thought you had been blogging for a few years?
