I couldn’t let 2023 end without a post. My first and last for this month of December. All is good here in the MPB and Master household, but I am not really inspired to blog.
As you can see above, we are no less silly, especially after a glass of wine or 3. But our need to share those moments has reduced. I’d like to say it’s due to the forthcoming implementation if the Online Safety Bill and the likely ramifications for us bloggers. But no, it’s more that I feel that most things have been said, photographed and shared already. I’m not really present on social media, though I do visit and read from time to time. I guess all things have their day and for this project 12 years might be its duration. I’m not sure.
Anyway, far from ending the year on a downer I want to highlight some great times. We’ve visited France (a few times), Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain. We have great plans for 2024 and will be spreading our wings a little further across Europe. Eroticon was an amazingly cathartic but also fun experience. I will always be grateful to Molly, Michael and GOTN for the inspiration and knowledge imparted at this year’s event but the others that went before. Plus, I’ve met some amazing writing and blogging people along the way. We’ve been back to CMNF and other kink events, though haven’t fitted in as many as we’d have liked.
I’ve stopped working again and have read more books than I’ve had time for in recent times. Plus I’ve really got into cross stitch and am enjoying the peace that brings me. I love writing still but for now I’m really happy to not be looking at a screen quite so much.
I’m not saying goodbye to this blog. Just yet anyway. But I’m only going to write when I feel the urge. Who knows, that may be tomorrow or next week. Or it might take longer.
Happy New Year to anyone who looks it. Sending love and good vibes for the coming year.
Happy New Year to you both. I can relate to feeling less of the need to share. I too find myself considering similar things. I plan to keep on blogging but to be more chilled about it and if I don’t feel like then that is OK too
I hope you both have a lovely New Year and I for one would be happy to read about any travels you do have and for little updates on life with you now and then
Molly
Happy New Year
I also wonder if blogging has sort of had its day. It’s hard work and the lack of engagement makes it feel pointless. Let’s just see what this year had in store for us.
I am saddened to see the community that I have been part of for so long fading away. I too have come and gone in recent years. I hope as I grow older and share my memoirs there are people who still want to read words.
