Dearest All
As some of you have been kind enough to mention:
Yesterday The Dandy turned one.
Sometimes it really is appropriate to keep it short and simple.
So I simply wanted to say thank you for reading, commenting, participating… making The Dandy what he is:
A Labour of Love.
Purely by chance, the eve of this Happy Birthday was the most popular day ever here with more people tuning in and flicking through more scented letters than at any time before.
The best present we could have hoped for.
Once again…
Yours ever, in gratitude and with great affection,
The Perfumed Dandy.

Many happy returns and many more to come!
Your Friend

Thank you. Especially for mentioning my snaps… they are a passion, so it is nice to have them appreciated.
Your haiku have me quite enthralled at present, please do keep them coming.

I was going to send you birthday wishes from Marilyn, but this recording so much more fun. Besides, Dandies are a girl’s best friend!
Oh heavens, me and the Interwebs. Let’s try this…

It has been a wonderful year, and I’ve enjoyed almost every moment (IT issues and the death of my computer excepted) of it.
Here’s to another twelve months of adventure.

Your blog has enhanced the year Sir Dandy, with perfumed witticisms,beauty and cheer! Log may it continue, and thank you for your thoughtful and warm responses. Happy Birthday to your blog Dear Sir T.P.D! xx
Dearest Rose
What would The Dandy do without you?
Your presence here is always a wise and welcome addition, the adventure would be all the poorer sans vous.
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
PS Still mulling over that fascinating piece of yours on Scottish independence…
It’s a pleasure to be here Sir Dandy!
The blog piece was sparked by the fact that even though I’d consider Scottish independence it would never be on the basis of feeling separate from the rest of the UK, I have so many ties with people around the UK, and certainly enjoy London whenever I’m there. It’s more the choices made by a fairly detached centralised government, which I reckon we all question.
Off topic completely! (I’m trying to think of a political perfume, hmm, challenging!)
This is quite belated, dearest Dandy, but I just wanted to wish you a very happy first birthday! Here’s to many more!
