Hello, hello, hello!

Did you miss me, my darlings? I know you didn't expect to see Stevie here, especially not for the first two posts of the month, but, well, he asked and I thought why not? 

Hey guys!

Yes, it's me again, Steven. No, I have not kidnapped Aunt Gertie, she's not tied up anywhere – and I haven't taken over her blog, either. In fact, while last time it might have been me imposing on her, this time she was the one actually asking me to write a second post! So you see, there's nothing to worry about – all of this is intentional and perfectly coordinated! 

Hi everyone!

I know you were expecting to see my Aunt Gertie here, but unfortunately, nope – today, you have to put up with me, her nephew, Steven (best known around these parts as Stevie – cheers, Aunt Gertie). 

Hello, my dears!

Guess what time of the week it is? That's right – time for another one of Gertie's reader interaction reply posts, where I take the answers the best group of readers on the Internet sent me about a certain topic and publish them for everyone to see!

Hello, darlings!

Today, I don't want to waffle on too much in this first paragraph, because the idea I had for the actual post is so much fun that I can't wait to share it with all of you! It's a reader interaction, as you might expect, and it has a funny story behind it. So the only detour I'm going to make this time around is going to be so I can recount that.

Hello, my dears!

Before we even begin, I just wanted to let you know I promised myself I would not say it. No. Not this time. I won't say it. You all know it already...what is even the point?

Hello, my dears!

How are we all? Enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to summer, I hope? I know I certainly am. I am enjoying the way business at the cafe has been picking up, too – while it can get busy sometimes during the chillier months, there is always more movement when the weather is hot, and there are more drivers out and about on their haulage and courier jobs in dire need of a coffee and sandwich! Some of those who come through are on day-long or several-day jobs – explaining the need for on-the-road nourishment – but some mostly work locally, and come in because they like my cooking, the coffee-brewing, and the bit of banter I always offer.

Hello, darlings!

Do I even need to say anything? I feel like, at this point, every other post begins the same way. Oh, blast it all – I shall say it again! I LOVE these reader interactions! My readership has some of the most interesting comments, answers and insights I have seen in my time on the Internet. Which admittedly is not that long, but still...

Hello dearies!

Well...here we are. According to many on the Internet, spring has sprung, and the wintertime blues are (hopefully) on their way out for another year! So I thought we would celebrate this happy time the best way we know how – with a good old-fashioned reader interaction exercise!

Hello, my darlings!

Well...you know what I'm going to say in this part of the post, don't you? I don't even need to start. "Amazing answers; you lot really came through; this is why I love doing reader interactions with you people," and so on and so forth. It feels as though I say this every other week and, while it does bear repeating, I'm sure at some point it gets tiresome!
