Giveaway...

.

It has been brought to my attention that I've been blogging for

just over a year

(see my first ever post here)

- doesn't time fly, I can hardly believe it..!

In some ways it seems like I have been blogging for years and

in others I feel like I am still a newbie...

.

In celebration of this monumentous occasion (ha ha!)

here are

a few random blog tidbits about me:

.
° Here, There, Elsewhere...

was not my first choice for a blog title...

..
° I’m an independent minded thinker who marches to the beat
of her own drummer, even though my blog
may not necessarily reflect this...
.
° I am not quite sure what I gave up
to make time for this as I still do so much off-line…
. .
° I have received many, many nice, intelligent and
thoughtful comments.
.
° I have many regular readers who never leave comments but
send me mails instead..
.

° Since starting this blog I have been introduced to an entire new vocabulary;
twitter, stumble, digg, memes...I could go on and on...
.
° I really, really, really appreciate my readers, and particularly,
my commenters;
I know I no longer respond to every comment
but I do read every one.
..
° I have learned so much from this experience...and
I know I wouldn’t blog if it wasn’t fun, so
thanks for keeping it enjoyable..!
.
.Plus, a giveway,
and all you have to do is guess
where I've been for the last few days...

Clues to help you:

° I took the above photos (all except 4th down which is from flickr)

of one of the many shops I visited

whilst there...

° Doris Day immortalized the city, not only in film

but also in song...

° I love the city with passion and visit often...

.

I'm sure you've all already guessed the answer, so, just leave me

a word - I'll select one correct response at random and

let you know who's the lucky winner

of the gift I bought at MERCI..!
