How time flies, it only seems like yesterday that the Osprey Blog launched. Now, 200 odd posts later it has dawned on me that the blog is now officially a year old - and going strong. In fact, the biggest challenge I have is keeping the bloggers from posting a stream of articles every 20 minutes. We don't want to overwhelm you...and they should be editing that New Vanguard on their desk...

So a quick thank you to all the Osprey staff, authors, illustrators and others who have posted, made suggestions and spotted my spelling mistakes.

Also, thanks to all of you - the people who read our posts - your comments, reactions, corrections and suggestions. I hope you have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy popping in for a bit of gossip, news and historical musings. As usual, if you do have any comments or suggestions then please let me know here.

To celebrate our birthday we are launching a Osprey Birthday Blog Competition - it will be going up in a couple of days so keep an eye out for it!

Thanks for all your support....and here is to another year...

Mike
