Breather

January 18, 2012 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

I love blogging, but I’ve come to realise that I need to take the occasional break from it, or it starts to feel like work.

So while my boys are on holidays, I’m going to take a little breather to spend some time with them. I’ll still be reading and replying to comments, there just won’t be any new posts in the next couple of weeks.

See you all in February! x

As much as it pains me to say goodbye (for a short while) to one of my favorite food bloggers in the known universe, I completely understand the need to take a break, and wish you a fantastic time with your family!

Enjoy each moment! We’ll all be here to welcome your return…

You truly deserve the break. Look forward to your return.

Enjoy- take lots of pictures- and thanks for all the work you put into your blog all year long. I’m going to go back and make some of your recipes that I didn’t have the time or ingredients to make before!

I completely understand where you’re coming from, Celia. Enjoy your break.

Should never become a chore, my dear, not for those of us who do it for fun rather than as work…
Enjoy your time off with the boys and we’ll see you when we see you!

You are amazing in terms of output, both in blogging and cooking. Enjoy the break! You and your boys will love it.

The new year should be a time of renewal, reassessment, and refreshment. Have a lovely break with your boys Celia, and enjoy every minute!

Oh it always dissapoints me when I eagerly look at your page for a new post and I see “breather”. But enjoy! There is a time for everything and the time for more posts will come again :)

I’m sure you deserve that break Celia. What a beautiful photo. That place looks like paradise. I shared your recipe – 40 cloves of garlic, on my blog last night!

Enjoy your break, we all need a summer holiday and spending time with your boys sounds great.

Look forward to seeing you revived and refreshed in a few weeks!

Enjoy! The food world will be here when you get back. And soak up some sunshine for me (we had snow today).

Oh my goodness gracious me! You must have driven past our shop Celia — I can tell from the photo. Next time you are heading this way please do drop by.

I hope you enjoy your break with the boys.

Take your time. We’ll wait. We’ll sulk. We’ll pine. But we will wait.

I agree, you will be missed and all the more welcomed when you come back refreshed and relaxed.

Hugs, Maz

Dear Celia,

Taking a break sometimes does a world of good and we would expect you come back with a vengeance like never before :) The photo of the Seacliff bridge is awesome. We have friends who live in Helensburg and we often visit and stay with weekend with them and taking that walk is a usual activity after a hearty meal.

Enjoy your break.

Rest well…

Thank you, you’re all very kind! We spent a couple of days with friends on the Central Coast, but we’re back now and will just be hanging around here for the rest of Jan. It’s nice to chill out and relax! Hope you all have a great couple of weeks! :)
on January 22, 2012 at 6:09 pm Anne

great idea Celia. We need you to keep blogging – just made my first batch of ice cream using the microwave custard recipe, which we have enjoyed many times. fingers crossed the ice cream is just as yummy!!

Have a great week off and enjoy the holidays.

Recipe Attribution

David Lebovitz wrote one of the best articles I've read on recipe attribution, and if you're a blogger who posts recipes, it's well worth a look.

In a nutshell, the ingredients of a recipe are not subject to copyright, but the text is, so always make sure you re-write the methodology in your own words, with any changes and modifications you've made. And always make sure to acknowledge the original source!
