PostingInspirational Blogger

DJ Kirkby has given me an Inspirational Blogger award, and said lots of nice things about this site that made, well, so delighted when I found out I had to shout across the flat at Va-vay to tell him the good news. Va-vay has promised to help me out with re-sizing the logos later. Please bear with me while I sort that out (now done!).

Inspirational Blogger Award



I'd like to pass the award on to the following people:

Ingenious Rose -  good to see you back and blogging again, Rose

Wife in the North - I don't know if she reads this blog or is into awards, but she's one of the reasons I started blogging, and if that's not inspirational I don't know what is... And she was kind to me when I started this site.

Zornhau - Smiting and Writing - we more or less grew up together, and still live in the same city, though nowadays we communicate mainly via comments on each other's blogs. Zornhau  was one of the first people to comment on this site, and his support kept me going in the early days. Oh dear, I'm getting all cheesy. Sorry. Anyway, I remember when his mum and dad got one of the first BBC computers  - I'd never even seen a computer before! - and let me have a go on it. Now I'm addicted to the wretched things. Yes, I suppose I have Zornhau to blame for that too.

The Fidra Blog - Vanessa has set up her own publishing company, Fidra Books, to re-publish neglected children's classics. As soon as The Bean's old enough I plan to start buying some for her (not that this is in any way, shape or form a pretext for reading them myself, let's get that straight).

Dulwich Mum - wicked blog. Her book about the trials and tribulations (sigh....) of being a Dulwich Supermum is published next year by The Friday Project.

Winners, please visit the Writers' Review to pick up your awards ready for engraving.

Darling Mother at Large,



Thank you so very much indeed! I am delighted and touched. I have just returned from holiday and feeling glum as we tumbled into our dusty old house - but now you have brightened my day. Thank you so much you thoughtful blogger. DMxxx

Oh my goodness! What a welcome back! Thank you very much Mother at Large, I'm busy preparing my acceptance speech and have put the champagne on ice!

Congratulations. You were one of the very first blogs I came across when I got started and rapidly became a must read - something that hasn't changed. So any award you get is well deserved in my book.

I'm flattered. God knows who I'd tag though.

You are welcome my dear. I hope to write non fiction as marvellously as you someday. Do not, I repeat, do not EVER subject me to any non fiction of yours or I may just shrivel up and die with sheer jealousy...hey wait a minute...you are not New Town Mum are you? *slinks off to raid chocolate stash*

Oops I meant do not subject me to any fiction of your yours...*shakes head and goes back to bed to catch up on sleep*

Mother at Large said:

Dear Omega Mum, being British I don't do these things well, but, oh, shucks!



Zornhau, you have more friends in the blogosphere than almost anyone I know. Am sure you can think of some deserving sites.



Dear DJ, New Town Mum? Moi? Whatever gave you that idea?!

wife in the north's an inspiration to us all dear mother at large. People just wouldn't know how grim it is up north for us poor downshifters from more civilised southern climes if it wasn't for people like her, sigh

well done Mother at Large! Hope your day is as sunny as it is here in Cornwall.

Mother at Large said:

Oh Rilly, I don't know what to say, poor you, life can be so hard sometimes....



Hello Flowerpot, thank you! Yes, lovely sunny day here - hope you're enjoying your nice weather like we are up here.

Thank you so much for my award - I don't think I've won anything since I was a Girl Guide! Will add it and give some thought to who I can pass it on to in turn.

Thanks for commenting on my blog and putting me on your blogroll - most appreciated. I too was inspired by Wife in the North and like you, she was lovely when I was looking for initial advice. How come though mine still looks completely amateur and yours looks fab - did you get it all professionally done? Lulu x

Mother at Large said:

Hi Lulu,

You're welcome about the comment/blogroll. Thanks for kind comments re design. I have my husband to blame for that. It's been through quite a few incarnations before we got to this point!
