NOT BIG IN JAPAN, BUT….

The Bexley Blogbrary seeks global domination…

Well, dear readers, this is exciting news, as we approach the Blogbrary’s first birthday and cast our eye back upon the glorious past year…

Here was I, amiably chuntering away about books, Bexley, buses, beetroot and general badinage , vaguely hoping that people as far afield as Greenwich, Greenhithe or Gravesend might just about be picking it up via their wireless sets …but – blow me down with a feather! - see what spectacular data the Blogbrary’s market research team has just tracked down….


In the past year we’ve had “hits” from not just dear old Blighty (over 8,000 smites) or the former colonies of the United States (234), but Holland, too (101); the emerging world super-powers are represented: Russia (51) and Brazil (34).

Looking eastwards, our Blog has been enjoyed in South (although not North) Korea (34), Thailand (24) and India (21). Our Baltic markets are holding up well – Latvia has 29 devotees, while from the mighty Rockies to the windswept Yukon, from the rolling prairies of Saskatchewan to the loamy turflands of Manitoba, Baffin Island’s rugged granite shores, and the deep, frozen wastes of Hudson’s Bay, 20 of our Canadian correspondents have clicked with us.


But is there any common thread linking these nations, I hear you ask?...

An all-encompassing socio-philosophical zeitgeist?

An atavistic love of Bexley, and its cultural heritage?

Or do they all play cricket?


Who knows…But I`d still like to get hits from even further afield… Pitcairn, anyone?

Seriously, though…If you do have relatives in Rwanda, contacts in Columbia; friends in the Falklands or acquaintances in the Antipodes, then please do forward them this blog, and urge them to dip in. (Anyone know anyone at the South Pole?)

Remember our watchword, dear readers: “Today Bexley, tomorrow…THE WORLD!”
