And the Liebster Award goes to....

Me!

My acceptance speech (with apologies to Gwyneth Paltrow, Sally Field and Hallie Berry)

This is so unexpected, I don't know what to say....

I'd  like to thank  Elaine at "Woman of the Soil" and  Lorna at "The Green Lady" Two great blogs and previous worthy recipients of Liebster Awards.

I'd like to thank all my fellow bloggers who have taken the time to read my blog and left comments. And all the people that have contributed to the blog knowingly or otherwise. 

I'd like to thank all my friends and family (sob) for their support and P for proof reading my blog. When there are typos and /or spelling mistakes it means that my enthusiasm has got the better of me and I've published before he's read it (or I've re-read it)

I'd like to thank my school teachers for taking the time to teach me to read and write.


I'd like to thank Apple Mac for making a great computer for me to work on.

I'd like to thank Canon and Nikon for providing the camera equipment if not the expertise to use it.

I'd like to thank my mother for passing on her gardening genes even if I wasn't that keen when young. Reasons are contained in a previous post called "Blunt spades and Pink Phlox".

Thank you again for this award. It means so much to me!

My five recipients of this prestigious award are as follows:

Stacy at Microcosm

Pen at So Many Herbs so Little Thyme

Denise at denisnoniwa

Bertie at What Ho Hidcote

Laura at PatioPatch

If you haven't visited any of of these blogs now's a good thyme....

There is no pressure to accept this award. It's been an incredibly busy time of year and you may just want to lounge about  and recover ... but if you do this is how to go about it...

2. Thank the giver and link back to them.
