I've been awfully busy of late so not had much time for blogging BUT I just had to come by to tell you that my post on Oscar Wilde's tomb has been quoted in a New York Times article! You can imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered this! A couple of my lovely readers' comments were quoted as well, namely the lovely Superheidi who blogs over at The Swing of Things and the fabulous Miss Rosette Brune.
Also this week, I hit 50 followers, which is great news as well! Thanks to all of you who read along and comment and who make the whole blogging lark so enjoyable. Special thanks to Wendy over at The Butterfly Balcony for being the first brave lass to follow me! Also to Betty Boots, who is the latest to join in the ride. But you're all great and I look forward to (hopefully!) continuing to entertain you with my wee blog and to hearing more thoughts and comments from you. I should have a think about a doing a special 50 followers/Christmas giveaway too...
Love,
Lisa Marie x

Thanks, ladies, for all your comments. Although, Hannah, I must agree, my new found fame (tee hee) doesn't compensate for the awful glass house!
ReplyDeleteWendy - I'm glad you always feel you've learnt something from my blog. I love discovering and learning new things and I love having this blog to share new things with others.

Absolutely brilliant! Congratulations on being plucked out as a voice of the people. It's great that they picked up comments from some of your followers too. Power to the People!
