In my absence I received my very first blogging award, in fact to my surprise I actually received 6 awards during the time I have been off line. 6! Wow, that was certainly a surprise, to go from none to 6 virtually overnight.
To be honest I have to say that I am in two minds about the whole blogging awards thing. I mean we all want to know that others enjoy our blogs etc etc but do we really need to recieve and give awards in recognition of that? On the other hand however they are just a bit of fun and I know I had a smile when I read the comments and emails letting me know that these awards had been passed on to me.
