Welcome to my Blogiversary post - 1 year of clogging up the internet with my creations, thoughts, photos and the odd video! 114 posts (counting this one) over 12 months with an average of just over 9.5 comments per post (thank you). 41 followers when last I looked, and 101 Google Reader subscribers - some of whom are the same people. According to Blogger I've had over 7,000 page views and my Flag Counter gadget at the bottom of the page says that my visitors come from 43 different countries!!! (including a chatty crafty arty "pig" on holiday!)
Do you get the impression I like numbers? Well you'd be right. I do. Sudoku puzzles are fun. Numerical crosswords are even better! I love that numbers and sequences and patterns are everywhere. Did you know that there is a spiral hidden in a pineapple? Or that pine cones, artichokes and sunflowers are also Nature's representations of the number sequence named after Fibonacci? One of my childhood heroes was the brilliant, witty, talented Tom Lehrer who sang clever songs about science and pigeons and mathematics too:

And because I like winning give-aways I thought I'd reciprocate and supply (a small) one of my own, so once you get back here, put the numbers in order, have a think, and drop me an e-mail to say which one is missing to Jimjams at dreamj dot co dot uk.
I'll draw a winner from the correct answers next Monday, August 8th.

Many congratulations! I'm so glad you decided to take the plunge. here's to many more years of happy blogging!
ps, I'm not good with numbers, this might take a while..
Congratulations! Great fun (loved Mary's jpeg too)
Happy blogiversary! I'm happy to have discovered your blog via the CKC. Fun pictures and your "31" picture is great fun!
Happy Blogiversary! Sorry I am a bit late checking in, looking forward to joining in your blog hop and glad you have a new country added via this pig! xxx
I had no idea you were a fellow Lehrer fan Jemma!
Sorry that was off topic, happy blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary. Here's to the next one!
Wishing you a very happy day, Jemma, and a great year ahead! I'm just waiting for one more person to post and then I think I am on the case, and emailing soon! Great fun, everyone!
I noticed a few of the blog hop posts in my Google reader this morning, but I didn't have much time so I waited until now so I could reward myself after getting all my errands done and enjoy each post.
Happy blogiversary!! I enjoyed this numbers post (such a cute video)! It reminds me of two books - have you read "The Math Curse" (a picture storybook) and "The Professor and the Housekeeper" (a novel)? I recommend them both for numbers people!
Off now to hop around.
Happy blogiversary, Jemma. It certainly was a fun idea and I love your post. Fibonacci sequences and other mathematical concepts have always fascinated me and the picture of the sunflower seeds is wonderful.
I've not watched the video yet but I will.
Thank you for inviting me to be part of the fun and I'm looking forward to the last couple of posts which will complete the hop so that I can work out the missing number.
Congratulations on the first Anniversary. I used to like think of a number with Johnny Ball.
Congrats Jemma on your anniversary! Unfortunately I don't have the time to go 'hopping' but hope everyone has fun!
Alison xx
