I'd like to say a huge thank you - and sorry for taking so long to accept it - to Michelle Gregory who has given me this fabulous, lovely and very special award.Michelle created this award herself about a year and a half ago, and you can read her reasons for it here.
I am honoured to be included in her thoughts.
If you followed the link and read Michelle's original post, you'll know there is no obligation to accepting. But after reading about this award and what it means to Michelle herself, I knew I wanted to share it with some very special bloggers who have been a source of joy, comfort and enthusiasm throughout my blog's life.
Once I started thinking about, however, I realised that I could actually list a lot more people than I have done, and I hope no one feels offended for not being included.
Here are my choices - ladies, you've been awarded!
Rebecca Bradley - for being one of my earliest blog followers
Teresa Morgan - for loving Footloose :-)
Kyra Lennon - for making me feel like I'm not the only writer in the South West
This is also my 200th post (and I've just gained my 200th follower) so what better way to celebrate.
Well, Footloose is AWESOME! And I'm not talking about the remake!
ReplyDeleteKevin Bacon eat your heart out! Thanks for the award... I might have to do this one on my blog. I think I failed at getting around to the other one.
(And you're not the only writer in the South West! I'm in the South West... ish... Near Bristol anyway ;-))
Anything further north than Exeter is a far and distant land to us folks down here!
DeleteLiz Fenwick is Cornwall... but I think she is also in Dubai at times.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we need to meet at a service station one day ;-)
Definitely! Or maybe Dubai...
DeleteTwo hundred followers is something to be proud about! Congrats for that...and your award! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you - it kind of snuck up on me though.
DeleteTwo hundred blogs and two hundred followers - congratulations! But I am confused - where are these followers? Your page shows 10 friends and 8 followers. Come to that - where am I?
ReplyDeleteI was going by the Google Connect followers - it was playing up recently and not showing on the side-bar. You're on that, Lizy, definitely! (I'd actually forgotten about the Linky and Network Blog followers - although I think most of them are doubled up from GC.)
DeleteThis is a very nice award to receive! I've been a bit puzzled by awards, and I currently have a post up on the A-Z blogging challenge website about their value. This one sounds perfect. No obligation to talk about yourself or obligate others to do that. It's just a lovely recognition. Congrats to you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mare.
DeleteWell, congratulations all the way around then!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex.

DeleteWoo, congrats on your 200s! :D Thanks for the award - it is so cool knowing there is another writer reasonably close by. I hope we can meet up soon! :D

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the next 200, thanks Misha!
DeleteAnnalisa, congratulations on getting the award, on having built relationships with other writers worth passing the award onto, on penning your 200th post and on getting your 200th follower. This is a special post, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suze, when you put it like that, I think this little blog's doing all right, isn't it? :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely award title and what an amazing coincidence. 200 posts and 200 followers. It's got to mean something... hasn't it?!
ReplyDeleteI think so, Rosalind - the 200th was just last night, as I was writing this post too!
