For those of you who have seen A Good Year (girls for Russell Crowe, or, guys, because you wanted to get into her pants so decided to go in order to swop a chick-flick for a chick-lick) you will soon realise, before this sentence is out, that this post has absolutely nothing to do with that movie at all. The title of it says it all and yet has not been deemed fit as a witty or exciting headline.
Were it not for the insane hours I’ve been working in preparation for an interview today and my utter lack of profane content due to the fact that the soldier of my dreams has swept me off my little well-heeled feet and rendered me devoid of any sentiment with which to offend, I would have posted this yesterday, the 1 year Anniversay of The Granny Wrangler (all presents, monetary gifts and general felicitations most welcome). Alas, it is today that I write, and my intense inner perfectionist is riled. It will have to cope I’m afraid.
A year has passed on Mud Island and as I look back on my very first post I realise how much has happened, what was not achieved and then what was – the unexpected, the awful, the happy, the desperately sad, the magical, and it only seems fitting that I call it a day. Or call it a year. One hell of a year. In all senses of the word.
I have loved it, I have loved you all being here – to laugh with/at me, to pick me up and dust me off when I was inundated with cat crap, chicken crap and one particular trail of ‘puissant poo’ of a geriatric nature. I would say it’s been crappy. But you’ve made it all worth it.
Should I ever decide to start up again, I will stealthily sneak out of the shadows under another disguise and you’ll have to discover me all over again but to be honest, for now, do not hold your breath.
With so much love, cynicism, profanity and gratitude (now get outta here you clowns! )
The (ex) Granny Wrangler.
*SMOOCH*
**UPDATE** Apparently, contrary to broadcast, our hero is an officer and not a mere lowly soldier. Thank you Sandhurst. I shall consider myself spanked. Mmmmm.

I AM SO UPSET WITH YOU RIGHT NOW.
SO VERY DISAPPOINTED.
And sad. :(
I mean, you got me started on this whole bloggling vibe, and then you LEAVE???
Boooo.
Hoo.
:(
You done good kid, may the force be with you
xx
Congratulations honey. You must be so proud. Big love x x x
It's been such a pleasure, dear. xx
Enjoyed lurking on your page will miss it
Get your bitch ass back in this here blog room and face the public!
What is all this I'm tired, pressured, swept off my feet, blah, blah, sneaky, sneaky, blah, blah...
No farewell party, no lets keep in touch, no magnificent parting post before walking the plank, no free autographed granny panty give-away, nothing....just 'nice not knowing you'..'bye'...I feel used!
I'm going to sulk quietly in the corner and rip the heads off little kittens :(
It's been fun GW.
It's fair to say we'll miss you.
*sigh*
How odd that a soldier has rendered you incapable of profanity, surely the phrase is 'to swear like a trooper'? Sorry to see you go, does the soldier in question have any idea how fantastically lucky he is? From allyour regulars, we'll miiiisss yoooou.
Take care
Boooooo! Hisssss!
What have you done with our Granny Wrangler? Give her back!
ekke: my little protégé - go forth and do my work. you know the terms and condotions tho - don't do it again.
phlippy: and with you.
lush: i know, these blogs grow up so fast you know.
mrs b: oh you *would* start throwing words like 'pleasure' around, wouldn't you?
analyst: yay! a lurker! i knew you were out there somewhere!
revo: your words hit a nerve, they really did. i know it's a cop out, i know it should have been a lot wilder than it was but i'm so tired. i'm really sorry, truly i am. go rip the head off chews' kittens.
parenthesis: keep missing missing missing til your misser gets sore. (that was a kids' poem i think)
cynergy: i have a sneaky suspicion yo...*he* does.
kyk: *look behiiiind yoooou*
mark: i don't come on command i'm afraid.
aw...:(
you'll be missed but...you'll miss us too! you'll be back, you'll see! *snif*
How rude! I just found you. I haven't had a whole year.
But, mind you, if I had a handsome uniformed stranger to play with, I'd also bugger off into the blogger sunset.
Good luck and bon voyage Ms xGW.
Tried running down a granny with my car in the hope of exorcising the Granny Wrangler from blogdom, didn't work!
Rev is decidedly NOT a happy camper!
Boooo! Oh well, I've enjoyed you (non-RSS feed and all), and hope it all goes well with the soldier. Does that mean he's sweeping you off the island? Hope it's in a boat...
betenoir: i *will* miss you. but fear not, i shall still be lurking...
dolc: and the sunset's soooo preeetty.
revo: good effort. keep trying. if it doesn't work at least you'll be helping the society.
fuzz: you done good kid, you done good. sadly he's not sweeping me off the island, but off my feet, hell yeah :)
You don't come on demand? Except for a Grandpa of course? Haha.
Mark, you should know that she only comes on *request*.
With a little bit of persuasion, of course. With restraint, even.
m & m: oi oi oi oi OI!!!!! we'll have none of that thank you.
Who's this request person that you speak of?
fuzz: oh suuuure. just climb on the band wagon why don'tcha?
well xGW, much as I hate to see you go, I can't express the bitter sentiments since I've done the same to my own poor readers just quite recently enough for it to hurt. And without the wonderful farewell post you gave us too. Wave to us philistines and blow a kiss to the soldier boy for me.
au revoir
XGW: You'll have one of *what*? Sorry, you'll have to ask Soldier Boy for that...
Infini: It all makes sense now.
;-)
was one of the best blogs, shame. well have a nice break & long may the soldier sweep you off your feet.
infini: it happens to the best of us. merci beaucoup cherie et bonne chance!
martin: oh twist my rubber arm.
london bachelor: oh yay, another lurker :) thank you kindly - will be seeing you over at fuzzy's no doubt.
So when's he taking you on holiday to Iraq?
winks at martin
thank you xGW and enjoy!
revo: we're packing the camel as i type.
infini: *sigh* - a wink is how it aaaall begins...
Hey! I never got to say cheers. I enjoyed your blog lank, you have a great style. Power to ya.
P.S. Fuzzy, loved the coming on "Request" comment ;o)
Miss XGW,
I have been a regular reader for about 3 months... and always wanted to send you a wee comment/compliment but then ended up not doing so. And now it looks like it is too late....
I think you have the most wonderful imaginative writing style and a refreshingly wacky take on stuff and great grammar to boot - you totally rock- and I hope that when you are less 'tyred' you will be back. Your posts leave me feeling totally useless as a blogger, but they are oh-so-good! So, whenever you're ready... I'll be looking out for you.
xxxox
OY! Leave the kitties alone }:[
It's all very amusing. Nice one. You almost had me. Now get back blogging.
