The Golden Post & One Lovely Blog Award!

Hooray, I’ve made it to fifty blog posts! You may have noticed that I am still blogging about meals enjoyed a few months ago so there’s plenty more posts where they came from. I do not eat out every day yet seem to constantly have a healthy backlog of visited places to write about. Well, better to have more fodder to write about than none at all!

And if making it to fifty posts was not encouragement enough, recently the lovely Jacq from Penguin Says Feed Me was kind enough to include me in her list of recipients for the ‘One Lovely Blog Award’. This is very special to me as this blog is still very much in its infancy and to know there are people, especially people whom I do not know personally, who enjoy reading it is such a confidence booster. Click here to see whose esteemed company I shared, and while you’re there have a read through Jacq’s posts as well. She has a sweet and succinct writing style that is most refreshing from the waffle-on of yours truly. (Forgive me, I am a Virgo and I just cannot help being the way I am.)

According to the rules of this award I must accept it, post it on my blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and their blog link. (Easy!) I then have to pass the award onto eight other blogs that I have recently discovered. (That requires a bit of picking and choosing.) I also need to remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. (Makes absolute sense.)

So after a healthy amount of deliberation – drumroll, please – here are my chosen eight (in no particular order):

• Anna of Reading your favourites
• Gastronomy Gal of Gastronomy Gal
• Fiona of the little lioness
• D of Be The Foodie
• LeeTran of The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry
• Rilsta of My Food Trail
• Shez of One Bite More
• Ladybird of Diary Of A Ladybird

As far as I can tell, none of the above have been previous recipients of the ‘One Lovely Blog Award’ and I hope I have not been stupidly blind and done so. Not sure what happens if that’s the case…

Thank you for reading and supporting this blog, and thank you once again to Jacq for giving me this award. I am one of those strange people who enjoy writing, reviewing and editing their writing, and formatting the piece as well as things such as photos to go with it. I hope my words and pictures bring as much entertainment and enjoyment to you as experiencing them first hand does for me.

happy reading!
