Readers of this blog in the last 10 years.

There are only two parts of the world where this blog is not read. The first and most obvious is Greenland and the second is Central Africa. Millions of readers of the blog also are excluded North Korea and there’s some lump of ice up north I’d like to think of as the North Pole.

This may seem a little odd and I find it so. I will happily buy North Koreans and Greenlanders and Central Africans and North Poleans a virtual drink on production of a digital photo of them at home!

Here are my rarest of readers, those who have been on the site only once,  some from obscure places I know little about.

I am sure that there are many small islands that I missed on the map, I am sure that there are many places that I will never know they scorned this site!

Over the years I have found the numbers of readers from India has expanded faster than any other. But China is not so familiar with this blog. America is second to Great Britain for readers and India fourth, easily exceeding my European neighbors.

I find these charts both charming and relevant. I have no editor or publisher to harness my writing and that it finds its way around the world as it does is charming. What is relevant is that it is read in countries that we in Britain trade with, Britain first but increasingly India and less recently Russia.

I suspect that there are places where it is read in concentration. Sarah Smart used to issue it to those wanting to be executives at The Pensions Regulator either as a warning or encouragement – (maybe both). I know of one British solicitor (not many big ones still calling themselves British) that encourages associates to read this blog.

When I get this kind of feedback I feel pleased and responsible, but those feelings don’t last long and I’m usually back to my frightened morning self, determined to change the world, knowing it unlikely.

I had reached a highpoint before my accident last November. Readers were breaking my feeble records and then I was away five weeks and readership is slowly recovering. I fear I may not be writing more relatively or not so well. My brain is not as it was, I have trouble with expression having had two haemorrhages. But I am amazed that my blog’s comments are up and that makes for the blog – if less read – better read.

Thanks WordPress for the chart of readers, I hope it tells readers that we really are global!
