A Strictly sparkling millenium celebration

So today is my 1000th consecutive blip - never thought when I set out on my blip journey that I would manage that. It's not quite the shot I wanted but it's Friday night, Lottie has a cold and I think I am starting with one.

It's been quite a journey - sharing happy times and sad times with some wonderful blippers. I have learnt a lot about my camera, which was the idea when I started. Blipping has made me look at things differently, trying to see a shot in places I wouldn't normally have seen one.

Just lately I seem to have fallen out with my camera a bit and I am struggling to take decent pictures and use the manual settings properly again. It has been a struggle to get a blip at all some days, I am hoping that is just because we have been so busy.

I would like to thank everybody who still takes the time to view my journal, and to apologise for my lack of comments lately. This is a great community and I am blown away by some of your photos so keep on blipping.

This is a celebration of my 1000th blip in the style of Strictly, which is back on tonight, and featuring my favourite model!
