Kicking off the Bakowski Blog

28 Aug

This Blog belongs to the Bakowski’s for which the overseeing custodian will be Marek. Mark and Sandie have set this up after days of careful thinking about what would be an appropriate thank you for Marek’s kindness. We think we’ve got it. Marek this is your blog to do with as you please and is a present (which to be fair didn’t cost anything) from us. It’s really easy to use and once you get the swing of it, you’ll love it. Post any updates you like and the rest of us can comment and add to them. We thought you’d be a perfect blogger. We hope you like it and we look forward to reading and commenting on your posts (but be warned the whole world can see this if they want to). All our love and thanks,

Sandie, Mark, Harrison and Tabitha xx

Enjoy.
