On Wednesday 14th March 2012 Purple Podded Peas will be five years old . . . that's a whole lot of words and pictures and your lovely comments that deserve to be celebrated in some way.
So I thought I'd do a 'live' blogging event through the day . . . the final itinerary for the day will be posted here on the blog before the big day, but this is the rough plan . . .
• a weather forecast from the studio assistants
• a give-away with prizes for 5 lucky winners
• a chat with Lesley Dolphin live on her afternoon show 'All about Suffolk' on BBC Radio Suffolk
• a tour of the vegetable garden
• a walk in The Wild Wood with the under-gardeners
• iPhone sketching Q&A
I'll be posting special PPP5•live blog-posts throughout the day and answering your comments, so you can pop over and join in the celebrations . . . the more the merrier!
How's this going to work? Your guess is as good as mine – I'll be making it up as we go along!

A happy blog anniversary to you! We never did sketch on our iPads when I visited. Am much looking forward to seeing what you are doing with that! All celebratory activities look appropriately fun and festive.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't! I've a revived enthusiasm for sketching on my iPhone after seeing the Hockney exhibition (and I would love an iPad!)
ReplyDeleteBut, I have just bought a new geeky accessory for sketching using Brushes or Vellum... so I'll be practicing my iPhone sketching skills ready for Wednesday.

What a great idea and making it up as you go along seems absolutely perfect to me! I haven't tried drawing on my iphone yet, and am hankering after an ipad!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Looking forward to some live blogging.

Congrats on Five years! and great idea- hope to be able to join you for soem of it despite the time difference- and I so wish I could see the Hockney exhibition!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years of beautiful blogging. I've enjoyed it since I've been with you.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations Celia! Sounds like a day of fun - but will there be cake?!
ReplyDeleteLIVE blogging!!! This I've got to see! Roll on Wednesday. Blogging for five years deserves a medal Celia. Will there be live coverage of the presentation ceremony for it?
ReplyDeleteOh congratulations! That's so exciting and something to be so proud of. I think you need a cake! I'll be 'tuning in' on Wed xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun (and a bit of work). I am looking forward to seeing you and your garden on the day.
ReplyDeleteHUge huge congratulations on five years of blogging. These celebrations sounds perfect Celia. Hurray!
ReplyDeleteWell done! It's my five year anniversary in November but I doubt I'll manage anything as swish as you (due to being a bit of a Luddite/ iThing widow). I think we're in the minority of bloggers who keep going longer than six months. It all sounds very exciting anyway!
ReplyDeleteCelia, I send you lots of happy fifth anniversary wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the difference in our time zones, I just might be able to get over here on That Day before I head out for my work day.

This sounds very exciting, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
ReplyDelete5 years! Congratulations & Happy Birthday! :)
