Letter to you the reader
Dear reader,
Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’m enjoying writing it. I’m finding writing posts a great escape from all the bad news on the state of our economy. One couldn’t watch the news or read a paper here in Ireland without becoming depressed. If it serves as an escape, then I truly hope this blog has a short life for all our sakes.
The purpose of this letter is to find out who my readers are. I know some of you because you have told me so, or have left comments. I really value your company.
A breakdown of the last 500 visitors shows the following

403 | 80.60% | Ireland |  |

69 | 13.80% | Canada |  |

14 | 2.80% | United States |  |

I can see that the main readership is in Ireland followed by Canada, then the US. I really welcome Patrick and John’s friends from Canada and the US.
Welcome to each and every one of you. I’d love to know who you are. Please if you have time, just drop a comment on this post. I’d love to meet you the reader.

Hello, I’m Gav, I’m 22, I’m a student in UCD an ex-student (as of my last final three hours ago!) and I installed your Wordpress to build this blog.
You kinda carried me around for 9 months, I think I need no introduction..

Hi Lily, I think I came from Tommy’s blog originally, but I’m much closer in age to you
I truly enjoy your posts, and hope that they will keep going long after these recessionary times are nothing but a memory.
Hi Lily, really enjoying your blog….must get me started on dis new fandangled way of spoutin off steam….you’re Denis says I need such help…’specially recently, since I gave up the fags….anyway, well done to John on his item about flying in Canada and you on your earlier letter to Tommy(I’ve been a fan of trusttommy, almost since the outset, but never had the courage to submit a comment, I give this honour to you). Keep up the good work.
Hi Lily, Hi Lily, Hello!
We met in Cork at the IBA’s and I consider you a friend ever since.
I live way up in Co Antrim and to avoid boredom I collect Toyboys. Your No. 3 Son is the youngest of my fifty Toyboys to date!
I think it’s my fault that you’re blogging in the first place.
Hi Lily! Found you through Tommy’s blog. Age 20, friends of Cocomans and son of Michael and Rosemary Kenny. Keep up the good work.
Waves. As it happens I found your blog through Tommy, and at the IBA, found you talking to Tommy.
