Today marks my 11th bloggiversary! I missed the big 10 last year! Feel free to skip all the booooring details below! Back in 2011 I started blogging for the first time. For a while I had two blogs: Roses and Vellum , (first post 5 August 2011) which was about books and movies and Frustrated Writer Style  (first post 16 September 2011) which was my outfit blog. Around 5th September 2012 I started posting all of it on Roses and Vellum which became my main blog. I think it was in 2020 that I changed the blog name to Crow Faery Laura to match my other social media accounts.  In 2020 I decided to reboot with a new blog and first posted to this blog in October, although I included some older posts from my original blog and did not fully switch over until 2021. I have made some great friends through blogging. Many no longer blog but we still keep in touch through other social media. I really enjoy blogging and hope to still be doing it another ten years from now!

Last week my friend Momo and I went to the Grounds of Alexandria to see their Wonderland themed installation.  It was actually quite busy there but everyone was being very respectful and taking turns to take photos!
