Almost 100 posts in and it seems appropriate to be grateful for blogging this week (even though I'm a little late)
Grateful for the snippets of others lives that I am able to share; amazing photographs, stories, thoughts.
Grateful that I took the plunge last year and started my own blog.
Grateful for the lovely comments that people take the time to make on my posts.
Grateful for the inspiration I have found and the blogging friendships.
Grateful for a blogging award that the lovely Hazel awarded me this week (more below).
It's all been good so far... hope it continues.

Some background: Liebster is a German word, meaning favourite, dearest or beloved and the
Liebster is awarded by bloggers to other, newer bloggers, who have
fewer than 200 followers, to spread the word and help the new(er)bies
gain wider recognition. The award comes with four conditions that each
recipient must satisfy when accepting:
- Choose five up-and-coming blogs (with fewer than 200 followers) to award the Liebster to.
- Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
- Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.
- Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.
Here are my five random facts:
- I attended 6 different primary schools (my parents were teachers, we moved a lot).
- I have to read each night or I can't sleep.
- I was completely in love with Princess Di as a child.
- The Doc and I moved to the UK and started living together after about 2 months of dating.
- I cry every time I see a baby being born.
The five blogs I bestow the award on are (I didn't obey the rules - they are not newer than me but they all deserve an award. I haven't found many newer than me!) :
- Karin from photography by KarinA
- Jan from thread garden
- Georgia from fuffenscheit
- Paula from eggshell blue
- Allana from high maintenance hippy
Congratulation for your almost 100 posts.Thank you for your forever inspiring pictures of pretty flowers :)
ReplyDeleteLovely to read your random facts.I totally relate to the moving part...since I moved to Oz we moved 11 times not teachers but surely crazy!!Lots of schools for the girls too...I hope they will forgive us later :) xx

ReplyDeleteI moved a lot in primary school too - five schools for me, all before second grade! After that I was very bored to stay in one place!
It's wonderful to share your blogging journey, Ally and you are never too late to link up to Grateful, if the link is open then so am I! x
