Thank You!!

Whilst I was having my nap http://southhamsdarling.blogspot.com/2011/01/zzzzzzzzzz.html on Sunday, I was woken up by Kelly from Wave of Life Surf Studio, to tell me that she had awarded me the "Stylish Blogger" Award. 

Kelly's lovely Blog features life surrounding the Surf Studio, including book reviews, recipes, fantastic photography, features on her two young children and inspirational quotes, to name but a few of her topics.  In fact, as she says, "a little bit of everything."    Please pop over to say hello and say that I sent you.

Kelly also has an on-line Etsy shop, selling some beautiful things.

I have decided to pass this Award on to four Blogs (this, as most of you know, is always the difficult bit, as I really do love each and every one of my friends' blogs), so here they are :

gawgus things who has a fantastic fashion Blog, but also features tasty recipes and wonderful photos of Paris, where she lives.

Skippymom who, although she doesn't always feel so good herself, never fails to put her blogging friends before herself.  She is always there to listen to their problems, and generally be supportive in whatever way she can.

Bouncin'Barb  who, again, is always thinking of others, although she certainly has enough worries of her own at this present time.  She is always positive and humorous on her Blog and has, seemingly, a never-ending supply of stories about things that have happened to her in her life.  She also continues to help and advise me in this blogging journey of mine.

Facing50withhumour, who I think is what a real blogging friend is all about.  She has well over 500 Followers, and yet she always responds to comments on her posts, and took the time to e-mail me when I needed help to create a Button for my blog.  In fact, she spent a lot of time on Saturday doing just that and created the Button for me.

I now have to tell you seven things about myself.  I think we have all done quite a lot of this lately, and it's quite difficult to keep coming up with things that you haven't heard before, so I'm going to give it a little twist and tell you a few things that I really DON'T like!

I don't like bad manners.

I don't like meanness.

I don't like it when, even though you might be quite seriously ill, the person who you are speaking to always seems to have something much worse. (as my husband says, " their cat is always blacker than yours!" ).

I don't mind if someone pulls right out in front of me and then drives on at quite a fast pace, but I don't like it when someone pulls right out in front of me as if they haven't got five minutes to spare, and then proceeds to drive along at around 20 miles per hour.

I don't like windy days.

I don't like having to get up early on dark mornings.

I don't like Politicians treating the electorate like idiots.

Enjoy your Award ladies and here is a little something for the rest of you.
