calculate directory size by year of file

I need to calcualte the size of a directory [and all it's subdirectories] by the year the files in that directory were created [or last accessed].
For example the script will sum up, by year, the number of blocks for that directory and its' subdirectories for files created / accessed in that year.

I need a report that would look like this :-
year 2000 50000 blocks
year 2001 2000 blocks
year 2002 45000 blocks
year 2003 150 blocks ...etc...etc thru year 2006.

I think I need to do this usings awk, but I'm not certain.

any ideas?

Thanks,
igidttam
