Kat - whom I’m not sure if she wants her blog linked!
A pot, a thought and a smidgen of dirt
Can’t wait to meet you all at the June meet up!
The next award is from Fiona
Blimey, I feel soooo honoured to be on your list of people to receive the PROXIMITY award. Thank you so much, FT.
Now I’m off to check some of the blogs you’ve mentioned but that I’ve never seen. No doubt there will be some to add to my reader
Hugs

Hi there-thanks for putting me forward on this, I’ll be sure to do it soon!!
Thank you so much!!! sorry not been around, just been to sick of late, first day back at reading blogs!!! oh how I missed it all
You’re going to love The Baker’s Apprentice. A lovely book .
I haven’t visited the White House (hopefully this spring I will on my trip), but I have seen almost every other state in the U.S.
Thanks so much for the award. Mr Chiots was just saying the other day, I can’t believe people actually want to read about what’s going on in our boring simple life.
P.S. I have my postman (a super nice guy) checking on whether or not I can send pumpkin seeds over to you. He said he’d let me know when he read through that section of the manual (which is huge, he’s so nice).
Awww! Thank you! I’ll paraphrase Chiot’s Run – still can’t believe anyone reads my babbling
Thanks so much for the award! Didn’t know you read the old blog! I hope you knit one day. It is my passion as you know!
I LOVE all the blog notes and will be going to the blogs you awarded to check them out!
Thanks for including me, FT! I can’t wait to check out these other wonderful blogs.
Thank you so much. I never got an award before!
I also plan on checking on those other sites.

Thank you! I’m not worthy!!! Roll on June!
Thank you so much for including me. It is a bit humbling when you realise just how far our words travel. Will be looking up all the new, to me, blogs you have listed. Margaret
Thank yo so much. And I will be visiting all the others you have mentioned too. I am particularly delighted to find more UK bloggers! Sometimes, it can feel very lonely when all your blogging friends are all over the world and few close by!
Gosh! Thanks so much!
Re: #64 on your list (giving blood). I can’t give blood here anymore because I’ve spent a year consecutively in the UK (195/86). The reason? Because Jakob Creuzfeld disease (aka “mad cow”) has a 30-year dormancy period and the UK & France have had a few scares over the years. Therefore, anyone who has a consecutive year of UK/France living in ineligible for donating blood.
Who knew??
Thank you ft
I’ve only done about 18/100
some I will never be doing – sky diving, skinny dipping…
You sure have done and been to a lot of places
