I've been writing this blog for very nearly 20 years having started after I took early retirement.
In December 2005 I started to work out how it all worked with four posts. This was the second

I'm used to Blogger which is why I stick with it - and its archive (see below) although I have been tempted by Substack.
I have a 71st birthday coming up soon and I now write an awful lot less than I did in that first year when I aimed for a post each day and actually wrote 348 blog posts.
Basically osteoarthritis limits gadding about now but also requires regular longish walks - which in turn limits time for blogging. However I now aim to do as much gadding about as I can before I creak too much - and have had a wonderful hot summer visiting various gardens across London and the southeast! So blogging comes second to filling my eyes with things I like to see - whether it's art exhibitions or plants, gardens and walks.
You can read any of my past posts by browsing the blog archive (see links below and in the side column in the desktop/tablet view) - which probably helps explain how come I've now had 24 million pageviews for Making A Mark!!! i.e. more than a million pageviews a year for every year this blog has been published!
Many posts are what might be called "perennials" and worth a second or third look! People have been known to get lost in my archives for hours at a time.....
