Some of the blogs I read aren't even updated monthly; every 4 to 5 days is really working at it. And I am really enjoying the photos of Prague. It is even more impressive that you and your wife are taking the photos yourselves. I look forward to the next year.

I have to say that getting a dot com domain in your own name was a very nice present rather than being something weird. Like you, I loved & still love the idea! Janet – Thank you!

As i read your post, even though i haven't kept track on your blogs, i have a glimpse of your being a newbie before to blogging world. It's nice to reminisce things that have put you to where you are now. I salute your wife too for buying you the domain on your own blog and also to your son. She's very thoughtful.. Her gift is very useful to both of you thought it's really uhm, weird but i love the idea! :) Happy 1st bloggiversary!

It is highly appreciated. I do quite regularly try to return the compliment on your blog. As for speaking out about the abject failure of the Caledonian School to honour the promises made to both you and Anna, well it was the least I could do. I'm just sad that there wasn't a successful outcome. However, it certainly got my blog noticed! As for my 'Britishisms', I'm glad you savor them even though I would savour them! Especially when writing, I use English as I was educated to use English. Being Anglican Chaplain in Prague has broadened my understanding of North American English and in my blog I do often put holiday/vacation, dual carriageway/four lane highway and write two weeks rather than fortnight. And I'm still learning! Only the other day I discovered that the colour/color I spell 'grey', you would spell 'gray'.

Cindy - Thank you! Lucy - Thanks for the congratulations. Yes - Prague is beautiful. It fortunately suffered very little damage in WW2 and many buildings have been beautifully restored to their former glory since the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

During your first year, you used your considerable moral authority on behalf of me and one of my fellow teachers when we had trouble getting a straight answer from our employers on Czech visas. Wow! That felt FANTASTIC to get that sort of support and we can never thank you enough. I love to read your blog! I especially enjoyed the posts about your trip to Turkey because every single spot was new to me. I was fascinated by your post on the guy posing as a Bishop. Lastly, I savor your "Britishisms". All due to your English language leadership, I aspire to use the word *whilst* in a sentence! .-= Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://empty-nest-expat.blogspot.com/2010/02/who-will-be-czech-jamie-oliver.html">Who Will Be the Czech "Jamie Oliver?"</a> =-.
