blog of the day on a beautiful day!

what a nice surprise this morning...opened my email and i had received a message from the lovely people at Fuel My Blog who informed me that my blog was being featured as the Blog of the Day for today! And sure enough when i clicked through...there it was...at the top of the page...my humble space! and they even sent me the little piccie above to put on my blog. what a great way to kickstart a fabulous sunny summery day, blue skies up above, not a cloud in sight...i'm off out to soak up the rays.

an award from a fellow faery!

a very special thank you to faery over at Faery's Kitchen for her gracious and much appreciated award she bestowed on me and my blog. it is naturally a great pleasure to be recognised by a fellow faery and i shall do my best to continue to live up to the standard that it suggests!
now who shall i pass it on to...well for starters it must go to Not Quite Nigella who i think must be currently buried under mounds of bananas as she bakes as much banana bread as she can possible stand to select her winner for the Banana Bread Bake-off! what a task...but can't wait to see the results!
and the other blog i'd like to give it to is Fifi la Cupcakes, who is a relatively new food blogger and i really wanna send her some cupcake-y love and support in her baking ventures. i'm enjoying reading her adventures.
that's it for now...
