…to log on and discovered that you’ve been nominated for a Liebster Blog award.
Thank you very much indeed Sue from Writing Home and especially for the nice things you said about why you gave it to me!
Liebster means favourite or beloved in German and the blog award is a way of getting lesser known, or new, blogs more widely known. As well as linking back to Sue and thanking her (which as a nicely brought up person I would have done anyway!) I’ve now got to think of five other blogs which I really enjoy and which have less than 200 followers to nominate them for the award. As I don’t really ever look to see how popular the blogs are that I regularly check out this may take some, pleasurable, time, and will of course be yet another excuse reason for why I’m on the internet rather than being upstairs on the speyed computer writing my book.

Hi Victoria, delighted that you’ve found your award and thank you for the link. Have fun choosing your five. 🙂
Sue, I’ve been trying to leave a thank you on your blog but ******* Blogger keeps on saying that I’m not typing in the word verification properly (getting very frustrated here:) so thank you again.
Victoria, not to worry, you’d already graciously thanked me here. Your latest comment has now reached me safely. I’m just glad I’ve found your blog and am going to enjoy continuing to read it. 🙂
