Reader Appreciation Award
It is always nice receiving thanks and accolades and today the appreciation comes from Tandy who blogs over at Lavender and Lime who nominated me for this award. Thank you Tandy. 
I thought it would be nice to forward it on with some roses hence the picture above.
There are no real rules attached to this award other than saying thank you to the top people who comment on your blog by passing this on to them.
The following people are therefore nominated for this award:
- Angie from Angie’s Recipes
- Diane from Diane’s Kitchen Table - Photographs and Recipes
- Kim from My Inner Chick
- Charlie from Hotly Spiced
- John from From the Bartolini Kitchens
- Tanya from Chica Andaluza
All of these bloggers are part of my favourite list so do pop over and say hi if you don’t already visit them.
