I have just realised that it is some time since I have provided direct responses to comments that you lovely people leave.
When I started blogging, it was rare for the blogger to respond to comments, except for clarification or contradiction, but it's more common nowadays. I know that people in general don't leave comments saying "I read and enjoyed that but don't really have anything to add"; I find it equally difficult to respond to comments saying "Thank you, I read, appreciate and welcome that. I have nothing to add."
So I just want to say thank you for all your comments, whether or not I agree with them.
