After 5 years of weekly blogging here on the Blogger platform I will be moving to my new Wordpress home next week!! As the next five years open up before me I am excited about the new possibilities.
I hope dear readers you will continue to enjoy the Foxglove Lane Blog On the new site, besides the usual blog, you will find an archive of posts from the last five years, and there will be a new section of resources called "for rainy days." I will continue to run the Print Shop and will be adding a new section there called "Squarefullness," a collection of mini, square landscapes, 120mm x120mm (5x5 inches) signed, mounted and ready to frame.
Mostly it will be a space for sharing images and thoughts about life down a long winding lane in rural Ireland! More of the ordinary and the everyday small miracles that take place in the western sky and in the unruly hedgerows. No big plans, just more of those small moments we share.
If you are following via the Blogger reader then the best thing to do is subscribe to the Tuesday list here and you will stay up to date.
I will keep the old blog archive at the blogspot address www.foxglovelane.blogspot.com (for the moment) and the new blog will have the old familiar address www.foxglovelane.com There will probably be a few little blips during the changeover, please let me know if you spot anything going awry.
For the bloggers amongst you I will outline in an upcoming blog (on the new site) how I made the move and why; what I found out in my research about site design and what I've learned from five years of weekly photography and writing. All in good time. "Ripening" my word for the year is dictating the organic pace of all of this.......
See you all on the other side. Yikes!!

Hi Catherine, Lovely images to end your time here and good luck with the new site! I will look forward to your observations of moving to wordpress. Sarah x
Dear Catherine,
I'm looking forward your new web space (I've been considering that move too, but still have to let things ripen :)).
this post is already showing an URL at http://www.foxglovelane.com/
I'll try putting that into Feedly.
hope to continue reading and seeing the lovely world of Foxglove Lane! ...and curious as to the reasons, as a fellow blogger.
Thanks for that. So far so good although it's a huge learning curve!
Well yes ripening is good Amelie!! I've resisted it for so many years and Blogger is pretty brilliant I think? Let's hope what they say is true after all? I can see so far that there is a fair bit of maintenance required over on WP......or maybe that's just the setting up phase?
That sounds good Diana! Now for the smooth transfer of the url to the new site!!!
I'm curious myself too Kerry!!!! I will keep you all informed. Although I think Blogger is brilliant, I am hoping for more possibilities I suppose.....let's see what happens....Great to have you on board:~))
Looking forward to the new adventure! See you on the other side at WP!!
Fingers crossed Donna!!!
Good luck with this move. I hope that the email notification will remain unchanged.
Yes as far as I know the Tuesday email will be the easiest part of this!! Fingers crossed!
Wish you are in your new space, and here's to the next 5 years..

Thank you Amanda, I really appreciate that! x
Beautiful images...and good luck with the conversion. I've been on wordpress since the beginning so have no comparisons...but I will tell you to make sure you have a good security plugin in place! I had to deal with being hacked not too long ago and it's so invasive! Can't wait to see your new home! xo
I'm so happy that I won't miss any of your lovely posts, I'll make sure I'm signed up for Tuesdays.
such beautiful shots! :)
I'll find you one way or another Catherine!
And I would always find you Jane x
Ah thanks! The gloaming hour......
Lovely Susan! I would certainly miss you.......
Thank you so much for that piece of advice Robin......yikes and double yikes!!!!!
