According to sitemeter, this blog has gotten its 70,000 visitor sometime yesterday. Those of you who use RSS, you don’t count 🙂
I guess that’s a large number, since when I first started it was really merely a way for me to keep track of my tea drinking, not expecting more than maybe the average 7 daily readers for your average blog. Over time, it grew into something else. I’ve gotten to know people who I otherwise would never have met. I have also learned more about myself, and my tea drinking.
So, a thank you to all of you who read this daily ramble, and to all those of you whose comments and correspondences make all this more enjoyable.
Dear MarshalN,
Many happy returns – do keep up the good work. The combination of your light touch with your keen eye makes your site one of my favourite daily reads.

No – Thank you!
Some of us may lurk more than is decently allowed but…
it is always worth coming to read your exploits (and learn much).

Anyone else for some sparkling 7542?
Hey, those visits were for a reason! Thanks so much for all the good work and smart thinking!
I’ll try to keep it interesting — thanks 🙂
Congratulations! 70,000 is awesome. I too started my blog as a way to keep track of the tea I was drinking. I had proposed using spreadsheets to some friends who thought that was a terrible idea. So far, it has been a lot of fun and you are right, I am meeting people that I otherwise would not have met.
Congrats and thanks again for the artistically-presented educational pieces and for sharing your thoughts and expertise on tea with an uneducated Arkie. I’ve always been a tea drinker but your site opened new vistas for me. Thank you.
