Thank you for joining me along this journey.
In 2007, I had no idea how long or where this blog would go, but I have met some wonderful people through my words here and I have even been fortunate enough to meet a few of you in real life. Without your input this blog wouldn't be what it is today.
There have been times I thought I would stop writing, but here I am ten years on, and although writing has become a lot less consistent, I am still here.
I have seen many blogs come and go in this time. Some of them I really miss reading, but there have been plenty of new bloggers to take their place.
Rhonda @downtoearth blog was my initial inspiration for blogging and she continues to inspire me everyday. I have followed her writings from the very beginning. Thanks to Rhonda, I have made it onto the Top 100 Simple Living Blogs, (along with many of my favourite blogs) so I had better up my game!
The good news is I will be back in 2018. I want to post more simple living posts in the coming year. With the theme of getting back to basics, you will see more recipes, frugal tips and ideas, maybe a few crafty bits and pieces, and of course the usual updates of what is going on around here.
So on that note I will wish you all a fantastic New Year celebration and will see you very soon.
In between blog posts you can find me here on Instagram or I am in the process of starting an Out Back facebook page.

Gosh Tania - 10 years is quite an achievement! Well done to you. I came rather late to discovering your wonderful blog & have only been following you a couple of years. I love visiting your blog - your writing is great & I love seeing how you live in that very beautiful part of your Country. Keep up the good work my friend .... & Happy New Year to you Xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you for following and contributing to my blog Julie.
DeleteI love visiting your part of the world too, and seeing your beautiful creations.
xTania
I love your blog Tania and am grateful that you intend to continue. I marvel at what you achieve at the edge of the outback with your garden too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your continued support Phil. I am definitely going to try to post more this coming year :)

I checked when I started and I will be 9 years in April, felt longer. It takes a lot of effort to keep up with it some days but I think it helps especially people in remote areas where there aren't many neighbors. Some days I don't see anyone else until the girls get home. Anyway congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Sunnybrook Farm. Blogging is good for people that live remotely. I find most people I mix with in real life, do not have the same interests as me, so blogging opens up a whole new world. A whole variety of neighbours right there on the computer screen :)
DeleteThanks for dropping by,
xTania
I love visiting you here, Tania, and reading about what you do at your place. Happy new year to you! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Meg.
DeletexTania
Congratulations. Well done
ReplyDeleteWe all get writers block and slow down I think. But yes your still here
I love reading your blog. And who knows. One day while traveling this amazing country of ours. I may even pop in for a cuppa!
Congratulations to your parents on their 60th wedding anniversary. What a milestone xx
Angela, You are most welcome to call in for a cuppa if you are ever passing through :)
DeleteThank you for sticking with me for so long :)
xTania
Love your blog Tania, I think that I started following you through Rhonda's blog. Please keep blogging.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a happy, healthy and wonderful 2018
Hi Chookasmum,
DeleteBlogging is definitely on the agenda for now. I just need to get my consistency back :)
xTania
Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteSame to you and yours!
DeletexTania
i saw that list too & was very happy that a few of my favourite blogs were in the top 100!
ReplyDeleteglad you're staying here, do enjoy reading your blog!
happy new year to you & yours too!
thanx for sharing
I was very surprised to receive and email informing of my blog making it to the list. I thought it was a hoax at first until I checked it out for myself.
DeleteThank you for being a regular visitor here :)
xTania
Congratulations on 10 years! I do not comment often but do love reading your blog and was quite relieved to read that you intend to keep blogging.
ReplyDeleteThank you Candace, so glad to have you here.
DeletexTania
Happy New Year to you and your Tania. I love the updates of all that you do. I really am looking forward to seeing how permaculture ideas are being put in place in your garden. See you next year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to always comment Jane.
DeleteThe permaculture is coming along a lot slower now that the hot weather has arrived, but what I have done with mulching has greatly improved the plants growth during the hot periods.
xTania
Mulch is magic, isn't it? Congratulations on making the list for the top 100 simple living blogs.
ReplyDeleteThank you TheAwakenedSoul, and yes mulch definitely changes things for the better :)

I love reading blogs to however I think Instagram has taken over from many of the olds ones I used to read. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Kathy, there are a lot of bloggers over on Instagram. Unfortunately people move on when something new comes along...its a shame for us readers and it is one of the reasons I chose to use Instagram, that way I can still keep in touch with some of my favourites. The other reason was to keep track of my travelling daughter when she went overseas, I could see what she was up to :)
DeleteHappy New Year to you too.
