My Sunshine Award



I received the Sunshine Award four times this week and, being so new to the blogging community, this means a lot to me.  It is now my duty to pass it on and, whilst this may be sent to previous recipients I shall explain my reasons for offering the award. 


Before I do that, there are some rules to follow:



  • Put the Logo on your sidebar, or within a post (or on a special page like I have) 
  • Pass the award on to the Bloggers you deem worthy of it 
  • Link the nominees within your post. 
  • Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog. 
  • Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.


First of all, I'd like to reciprocate the award to the four people who thought I was worthy of it

Catherine at Baby Genie (@baby_genie)
Paula at Battling On (@peabee72) 
(yes, I'm sure you know that link by now - it's like a weekly advert, isn't it? *yawn*)

Secondly, the following people deserve this award for brightening up my online life over the past few weeks

Manda at Flying Start Magazine for being almost related to me (that was a close one, I'm telling you) (@FlyingStartMag)
Cosmic Girlie at Mocha Beanie Mummy for blogs and tweets that say it as it is! No sugar-coating (@cosmicgirlie)
Eileen who sits there on Twitter keeping me amused (I have no idea if she has a blog or not) (@eileenhaveron)
Ade from Blog Ibiza who writes about one of the most beautiful places on this planet (@blogibiza)
Dawn at The Moiderer for being just lovely (and I'm convinced she's got a new banner but she swears blind she hasn't) (@The_Moiderer)
Joise from Sleep Is For The Weak for the effort that she puts in with the Writing Workshops and for helping me with some HTML code this week (@porridgebrain)
Erica at Little Mummy for creating THE best Beginner Bloggers course EVER - see her website for more details and to sign up (@Erica)

and finally I have one award left.  That is for a very special person.  
YOU
If you're reading this blog post, whether you've stumbled across it or if read here regularly, and you haven't received one of these awards already, then this award is for you.  Blogging is only successful if you have readers, comments and feedback and that's not possible without people like you.  It's corny but it's true.


To make it easy for you, I have created the code for the award for you to copy & paste directly into a blog post - see below:

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
