Shocked and honoured

What a nice surprise - fellow blogger and rising star totalfeckineejit http://www.totalfeckineejit.blogspot.com/ has given me an award. This is not something to be sneezed at - totalfeckineejit has just had a poem accepted by THE SHOp, along with one of his photos, which is due to be featured on no less than the magazine's front cover in the near future.

So what I have to do is post the logo here (which I have had a bit of diffulty doing), list seven things I love, and pass it on.

First of all, seven things I love . . .

1 Aunt Dee's garden (it's slowly taking shape)
2 Empty churches

3 People (some, not all)

4 Growing things - particularly edible things

5 Very old, moth-eaten animals

6 Coffee

7 Attics

As for the seven blogs I want pass it on to - that's hard, because I'm newish to the blogging thing, and the blogs I really like, like totalfeckineejit and womenrulewriter have already received it.

After those two . . .
