My first year

Today, 8 of December, my blog celebrates its first year. This was a project that I started because Ben Cardew told us to in an English course I did last year. I remember that when he told me in our previous interview that he was thinking of this activity, I said it would be great.

I have always wanted to write a blog. I like writing. That is one of the things I do for living. However, normally, I always write about the same things and I get a bit tired. As a journalist, I think that there are a lot of subjects, news... to write about and give my point of view.

When Ben told us to start the blog I thought it was great. First, because, as I said, I like writing. And, in second place, and probably more importantly, because it was in English. For some years now, I have been looking for the way to keep practising my English. I try to listen to the news every morning, I watch series in English and I try to read book as well. I know I am able to hold a conversation with anybody that speaks English, but I also know I do some mistakes. That is the reason I try to improve and get better.

After a year, I think I can be happy. First of all, because I have been able to write a few posts (except in summer) and I try to keep updated my blog. Sometimes I have ideas when I am running, but then I forget about them. The good thing about it is that I have plenty of time to improve and it is a new challenge. One of my doubts to get more visits it’s to twitter or facebook my posts... I am sure that I would get more visits as I did when I started, but it is not my aim. What I really want is to keep writing in English and trying to improve every day. I know I don’t have many fans, but don’t worry: I promise I will keep updating my blog and writing about my running thoughts or anything that I consider important.

My Sweet Things

Today I am doing an exception and I am not writing about something I thought while I was running. This time I want to introduce you a blog: My Sweet Things. This is a personal project of Mireia, one of my best friends and who has started showing the world the skills she has.

I have known Mireia for many years and I can tell you that she is a great person. As you will see when you visit her blog or you follow her at Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, she does great things. Her handmade articles are incredible.

She can cook lovely cupcakes with fondant or butter cream, she can also do you a note book or create an incredible photo album of your honey moon. I am sure that once you have a look, you will like what you see.

I strongly recommend for you to follow her. Her husband and friends have convinced her to start this adventure and I am also going to back Mireia up. I think everybody deserves an opportunity and when somebody does things with passion and love the result is the best you can imagine. What are you waiting for? Follow her!
