... I am sure it hasn't gone unnoticed that I've been MIA for a little while now. No real reason for this, my life seems to have taken me in a different direction of late and I am enjoying my time pursuing other interests. I've spent a long time deliberating if I should take my blog out of the 'public view' and use it solely as my own personal record of the time I am spending developing my foodie notions ... but that just feels a bit like I am killing off a character in a soap, and I would like to think Chocolate teapot has a bit more class about it than that lol
So, to sum it all up, I'm not going to be around for a bit. Hope you understand. And if in the future I have a change of heart and find myself cooking up a storm every spare minute again I am sure I will also feel differently about the pressures of keeping a blog updated as well as keeping updated with all the other fabulous blogs on the go too. For now though I am finding plenty of other
distractions activities to keep myself occupied.
Best of luck to you all in the meantime, hope it all goes well for everyone ... catch you on the other side ;0)
I'm sure all your regular readers will miss you, but your decision is understandable - interests and priorities change with time.
ReplyDeleteOh Chele, I have been having the same internal discussion. It is hard to keep the motivation and sometimes other things occupy the space you would have given the blog. Enjoy your time away and doing all of those other things and I hope we will see you back at some point soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteAhh that is a shame Chele, but I am glad everything is ok. I did wonder if you had had some bad news. I am also glad you are leaving the door open. Hope we can still meet up sometime for a catch-up. Jac xx
ReplyDeleteDon't go! Or, at least, if Choc Teapot is going to disappear like a soap character, can you come back as another character, with a tan and blonder hair, and we can all pretend not to recognise you?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy life offline, but know that we will all miss you (and I for one will be back to check out your greatest hits whenever I need inspiration) x
I wish you all the best with your plans. You will most definitely and have most definitely been missed. Enjoy life! Xx
ReplyDeleteHope you are ok Chele. Will miss your posts and the pics of your yummy food!
ReplyDeleteI will miss you but understand how you feel.Blogging should not make you feel under pressure,it should be fun and you should be able to dip in and out as the mood...and life takes you.Enjoy your blogging break,hope to see you again soon!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I will enjoy trying out all the lovely recipes you have featured.
Take Care,
Love bellaboo X
Sorry to hear you won't be posting but hope to see you back sometime!
ReplyDeleteHi Chele, I've done this a couple of times myself and I think it's very healthy. You can't maintain blogging enthusiasm all the time and sometimes the rest of life just seems much more pressing. Obviously there are lots of blogs that people leave and never come back to, but I think you're right to leave your options open. You never know when your blogging mojo might come back! In the meantime, enjoy those other interests!
ReplyDeleteNo Chele - don't kill the Chocolate Teapot - it's a fab resource, even if you are unable to contribute anything further at present. Enjoy your other distractions and we'll hope to see you back some day.
ReplyDeleteIt's very sad to see you go and you will be greatly missed but I'm glad you are pursuing other interests. It is hard work maintaining a blog and shouldn't be a burden. Good luck with your endeavours and hope to see you back soon x
ReplyDeleteSad for us (but would be even sadder if you took Chocolate Teapot offline altogether). But I am glad to hear you are enjoying life even if it is not coinciding with blogging - would love to see you back but meanwhile enjoy your distractions!
ReplyDeleteAwwww Chele, you will be very much missed in the blogosphere, you're one of my favourites! Totally understand though, blogging can be so hard to keep on top of at the best of times, let alone when you've got stuff going on or just want to do other things for a bit. Glad you're keeping your options open and really hope to see you again in future, at least you've left us with lots of lovely recipes! Best wishes x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time out and new hobbies, look forward to welcoming you back when you are ready to blog again.
ReplyDeleteI hope and wish you well! Maybe see you back here at some point when the time feels right :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Chele, just catching up on Google Reader as I am behind in my reading, and have just seen this post. You will be missed but enjoy all your other activities :)
