It's been amazing to have so many wonderful guest bloggers leading up to 11.11.11, and I'd like to thank: WitWitWoo Crystal Jigsaw The Mothership Him Up North FiveFs Tiddlyompompom In a Bun Dance Typecast for their varied, interesting and unique takes on Remembrance. The theme of Remembering is evident across the blogosphere in many forms. Cherry Menlove, who has so very much to be thankful for this Remembrance Day, is showcasing the … [Read more...]
Wit Wit Woo on Remembering
Wit Wit Woo was jolly nice to me when we first met at the now infamous Cake Fest that was BlogCamp London. I followed her on twitter, where she is generally incredibly witty, which would be quite annoying if she weren't bang on the money. And then there's her inimitable style. She has so much fun with life, with her blog: it must be the red hair. I always thought Blondes were supposed to have the most … [Read more...]
Him Up North on Remembrance
Garry blew into my online life on the back of a photograph. I so admired on of his entries for The Gallery, I wanted to get to know him a little better. I should have known he came from Up North from his sense of humour. Naturally I dislike this quality in him, but admire his writing so have to overlook the geographical issue. He is one for twitter banter and regularly makes me laugh with his 'insert substitute word into film/song/book title' … [Read more...]
The Five F’s on Remembrance
Kate at The Five Fs is in my life because of twitter: way back when the world of 140 characters was a terrifying prospect and I was watching from the sidelines, I kept seeing her in Him Up North's timeline. Frankly, I was just nosey, so I followed her. Turns out she is very knowledgable about things that begin with F. And tweeting. She may be a tweetaholic. Her recent Life Circle posts have really made me think about what I want from the future … [Read more...]
Crystal Jigsaw on Remembrance
In the years that I have been blogging I've dipped in and out. My guest poster today started around the same time as me and has gone from strength to strength, gaining a huge loyal fan base and writing a book or three. My awe would easily turn into jealousy were it not for the fact that Kathryn is just so....lovely. Wife to The Farmer and mother to Amy, she lives in what looks like paradise from the photographs, which is as close as I … [Read more...]
Tiddlyompompom on Remembrance
It's looking like Bonfire Night is going to be a washout here in the South East of England, which is a big relief to the Wonder Hound. It's a relief to me too: I was waiting for Tiddlyompompom's Oh So Helpful Guide and it's yet to be published. Aside from her utterly brilliant blog name, I am deeply envious of her brilliant Day Zero Project which I have repeatedly thought about before dismissing as an idea because I totally lack the courage! … [Read more...]
In a Bun Dance on Remembrance
I came across Ellen when we were put in the same Comments Group by BritMums. Despite her harking from some country that is very far North of here, she still manages to make me laugh with her brilliant insights into life, parenthood and everything in between as she and the Panther of News (and I do actually imagine her being married to a Panther- I assume it to be a Scottish thing, like Neeps and square sausages) raise their three boys. She … [Read more...]
