Yes, I miss JohnFromWales - his blogs/musings were brilliant. There are other blogs, of course, the best of which (IMO) is:
The Mighty, Mighty Monk Seal
There are other good Strictly blogs, of course. Some of my favourites, just for the information of any newcomers to the Strictly thread:
Strictly Come Bitching - does exactly what it says on the tin.
Frankie & Clover - great fun and they are very knowledgeable.
Why Miss Jones Like JohnFromWales, Miss Jones hasn't posted much recently, but when she does, it's great stuff.
Anna May Mangan's Writing News - not a Strictly blog as such, but when she does write about Strictly, it's pithy and very, very funny.
I'm bound to have left some out - these are just sites that I have bookmarked (Strictly saddo that I am).
