How I got here is another story altogether, and one that may, one day, be worth telling. (I am thinking of doing it in the form of an epistolary novel, but will try and make it more interesting than for e.g. Clarissa by perhaps writing to imaginary friends and/or celebrities, who then write back, except the letters will be made up.)
Suffice to say that if you had told me two years and three days ago that I would be living in Montreal with a French-Canadian veterinary research histopathogist, I would have laughed in your silly face. But it is true!
(Thanks again to Dave Shelton, virtual friend and genius illustrator, for my 'hot pix'.)

Happy anniversary and I wish you great and continuing happiness.
Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already. Congrats and all that. Great to see you posting lots again.. it's just like the old days. xx
Thank you, my friends, for this and your ongoing loyalty in these times of need. I salute you.
Dear God has it been a year?! Bloody hell! Congrats and all that...wow...bloody amazing...it's been a year?! It's more because I don't seem to have moved on so much in my life that I am so shocked. Well done you! :o)
I am waiting on tenterhooks to find out how you wound up in Montreal. English people - as in, actually from England - well, maybe more from Scotland, but close enough - used to settle there quite frequently, but not so much in the last 150 years or so. I love the epistolary novel idea. If you write it I'll read it. Bon weekend.
Congratulations on your First Canuckiversary!
M. Canadien is a histopathologist? Does that mean he examines specimens from history texts? Especially Prussian history?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHa... just a little histopathological joke there. Very little.
Sorry.
A year! And how you have settled down. Mind you I was cheered (I know you weren't) by your account of everything going wrong in the old place in Brixton - I used to love reading about Twatboy and the squirrel... you do seem altogether less fed up now, the Pathologist - self-haircutting or no - seems much better suited to you than the rest of it was.
So many posts, so rapidly! As Tim says, it is quite like old times, in the best sense.

My friends! Your kindnesses are too much for me to bear.
I salute you.
Well....happy anniversary! I would live to think that in two years time I may be doing something that I could never imagine now.....!
A year?
Impossible.
Really?
Wow.
Congratulations. May the winter ahead be good to you.

Hi there,
Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but I am the author of a book called 'A Place in My Country: In Search of a Rural Dream.'
A blogger (Katyboo1’s Weblog) recently posted a review of my book on Amazon.co.uk and on her own blog.

I hope you don't mind but I thought it might therefore appeal to you too, as she has you on her blogroll.
Here's the Amazon reference but it is published by Phoenix in paperback and was published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson last year.

Anyway, there it is. Again, hope you don't object to this shameless self-promotion.
Kind regards,
Ian

Congratulations NWM. What are you doing to celebrate?
Hmm, that is very scary! For it means that I have been reading your blog for over a year now! Very, very scary indeed.
