Just a quick post to say thank you to Jane at Tidy Gardens by Jane to thank her for passing on the One Lovely Blog Award. I am sincerely grateful to her for this honour and list below the rules.
First I have to thank the person who gave me the award, then list seven things about myself then pass the award on to ten fellow bloggers. Here goes:-
 |
- I am originally a Yorkshire lass from Sheffield
- I have one brother six years younger than me who lives in Edinburgh
- I used to exhibit and sell my watercolour paintings (something I no longer do - the muse has left me)
- I started my first garden in 1972
- I have been married twice but have no children
- I am a bit of a nature geek and love the great outdoors
- I was once rescued from drowning as a little girl when I fell off a boat in the Norfolk Broads

A well deserved award! It's always interesting to learn a few facts, such as you've listed, about a blog friend. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Flighty - I'm always in two minds about accepting awards - but it feels a bit churlish not too.
DeleteYou're welcome. I'm the same, but I always do accept
Deletethem. Flighty xx
Thank you Elaine, very sweet of you. I'm not sure I can think of anything new to say, but I'll try to pass it on soon. xx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome - I'm only sorry I didn't find your blog sooner - share some of your guilty pleasures with us.
DeleteThanks Elaine, thats really kind of you. Wow need to think of some thing to write about myself now, I'm usually just complaining about the weather!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure Annie - I'm sure you will think of something.
DeleteSo we have several things in common Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Yorkshire girl
Have no children
Once was in a rowing boat on the Norfolk Broades that sank and I can't swim so was life saved!
I'm a nature geek too
What a coincidence Sue - are you sure we're not twins!
DeleteCongratulations on the award, Elaine, very well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo - not sure I deserve it more than anyone else but the thought behind it is nice.
DeleteCongratulations on the award Elaine, well deserved. I'm from Gods country too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rooko - all the best people are - only joking!
DeleteAyup! :) Congratulations, it is a lovely blog. Mo
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo - much appreciated
DeleteSo very deserving xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane - much appreciated.
DeleteWell done Elaine, you most certainly deserve the award.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I am so sorry, most bloggers know that I do not accept awards. To be truthful with you, I like to keep my blog as simple as possible but thank you so much. I am humbled that you consider it worthy :)
I will at some point write seven facts about me, just for you......tks again.
Thank you Cheryl - sorry I didn't know about your 'award-free zone' - I still think you deserve it though.
DeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks indeed for the award-my very first!! I’ll be doing my bit to fulfil the conditions and pass it on in due course...now need to have a good think!! Thanks again.
I am happy to pass the award on to you - 'because you're worth it'
DeleteCongrats on your blog award. A super logo / badge it has too!
ReplyDeleteI think that's half the reason I accepted it - because it is so pretty!
DeleteThank you so much, Elaine. Your blog is well-done that iI am indeed honored to accept your award. Now tell me, how do I add the badge to my page?
ReplyDeleteHappy to pass it on to you Ann
DeleteWell deserved award, and fun to learn a few new things about the person behind the blog :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay - I try not to give too many of my secrets -I like to keep an air of mystery you know.
DeleteCongratulations! You do have a lovely blog. I like learning a little more about my blogger friends. Must have been frightening as a girl to almost drown! I'm not a very good swimmer and always feel uneasy around water.
ReplyDeleteThank you. With all the rain we're having this summer I'm beginning to feel a little uneasy around water too!
DeleteHi Elaine, just popping in to say thank you for passing the award on to my blog, it's very appreciated. I'm not very good at keeping up with comments (or posts!) at the moment, life is just too busy, and I may have to think awhile before I can come up with people to pass the award on to but am pleased to accept. xx
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pass on another award before but someone else beat me to it and you would have had an embarrassment of riches. Seeing as your blog was one of the first I ever came across - it holds a special place for me.
DeleteAww, thanks Elaine. It does feel like we've been chatting to each other for a while now, doesn't it! Sometimes it can feel like I'm writing for myself with no-one reading (and sometimes that's a good thing!) but it's heartwarming to know that I haven't said anything to put you off yet! x
DeleteDespite the fact that you sometimes go off radar due to other commitments I always look forward to you being back in circulation and reading your award-winning blog.
