I have to say that I like receiving blogging awards! It provides a little break from writing about traveling (not that I actually need one). But this is a fun award and I’ll give it a try… I was nominated for this award by Cloud of Lace, a lovely new blog that I have enjoyed following. It covers topics like food and fashion, so be sure to have a look for yourself!
For the 7×7 Link Award, the recipient must provide links to their own posts within the following 7 categories and then pass the award on to 7 bloggers.
So…
The seven posts:
- Most Beautiful Piece: Venice without the Crowds
- Most Helpful: Planning 101
- Most Popular: The Beautiful Flowers of Giverny
- Most Controversial: Virtual Souvenirs (although I’m not sure if this is controversial!)
- Most Surprisingly Successful: Umbrellas and Ponchos
- Most Underrated: Walking in the French Quarter
- Most Pride Worthy: Paris 101
And here are the seven nominees:
- Lorna’s Tearoom Delights
- Darlene Foster’s Blog
- Francine in Retirement
- restlessjo
- Marcia Clarke-La Chica Writes
- Teresa Blackburn’s “Food on Fifth” Blog
- photos from the loonybin
If you have received this award or don’t care to pass it on, that’s fine. I just wanted to recognize your blogs anyway!
I’ll notify you soon, and enjoy your award! Meg

Thanks Meg- more fun! I’ve been to zumba this morning and was actually sitting in the garden (shock! horror!) in my very sheltered pergola for the first time this year. Yippee! The sun’s moved round too far now so I’ve come in to receiving this- brilliant.
Be nice to check out some of the other blogs- that’s the good bit. I’ve just been re-organising mine and adding pages so at least I can remember what’s in there. Congrats to you too. Yours is a lovely blog.

You must think I’m terrible that I haven’t done anything regarding your nomination of my blog for this award. I just wanted you to know that I do really appreciate it and haven’t forgotten. Right now I am dealing with my son who just had a tonsillectomy, but I will get to it eventually, I promise. Thanks again.
