The End Of An Era


Dearest of kindred spirits.


I have come to a small-ish in a big way conclusion… And a corresponding decision.


It’s going to be a bit misleading and disappointing to anyone who visits this blog to find that it no longer contains any such person as Juliette Deroulede… And that’s just not fair to people. And so… I’m going to be changing both the title of the blog, and the address itself to better reflect its new state. 


And the new year being as close as it is, it only makes sense to make necessary changes now, and start 2024 afresh!


And so… Henceforth and from here on out… (Well, starting in January ;) You’ll find this wee corner of the kindred kingdom dwelling under the newfound title of The Idlewood Archives… And furthermore, as emilyofidlewood.blogspot.com!


Starting this new year… It feels a bit like planting a packet of unlabelled seeds just as the rain is beginning to patter all around you.

It can’t help but grow something, but you have no way of imagining what they’re going to be by the end of summer!


Here’s hoping 2024 turns out to be the kind that winds it’s way up a trellis, and blossoms in the ways we least expect… Be they big and grand, or the kind you need to pull out your “Blessings-scope” to spot!


Treasuring the last scrap of the old-about-to-be-made-new year…


Yours truly,



~Emily

  1. That's understandable . . . and beautifully worded! I love the flower imagery; you have quite the skill with those tricky things called words.

    Here's to 2024!

    1. It felt like a necessary change to make…. As much as I’ve adored Dwelling In The Past!

      Awww, that’s sweet of you (: Coming from someone who has such skill in the field her own self, that’s an enormous compliment…. Thankyou!!!

      To 2024!

  2. It is I. Again. Here to say nothing in particular. ;P

    (For posterity's sake, we are testing comments.)

    (Wow, posterity . . . I am very pretentious today, am I not?)

    1. The perfect sort of nothing-in-particularly, I happen to be in a wordy mood my own self😉 Looks like this one is fine too!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any writer, in possession of a blog, must be in want of comments!
