Brilliant bloggers

A few weeks ago, my MIL awarded me a Brilliant Blogger Award, for helping her garden grow and greening up her life :). Thanks Jacky!
I backburnered it a bit because of the book, but I have now managed to choose 8 blogs I would like to pass the award onto.
- My friend Karen is one of the kindest and most generous people I know. My life would be much poorer without her, and there are many, many more people in this world who would say the same thing. Karen blogs about her life – her family, her landscape and her photos.
- Rebsie takes the most gorgeous photos of the peas she grows in her garden. Some of them are very special, because she’s breeding her own varieties and the don’t grow anywhere else (yet!). Rebsie is also a talented musician, and you should check our her album.
- Jane Perrone is in the middle of a major life upheaval at the moment – new baby, new job, new house – and she’s given up her allotment, but she’s still a pillar of the garden blogging community!
- For a touch of garden-related madness in your day, you can’t do better than The Garden Monkey, who also blogs about his passion for gardening books over at his Book Flange.
- Allan Shepherd is a relative newcomer to the garden blogging world, but he has impeccable credentials – he’s written some must-have gardening books, and he’s very involved with the Centre for Alternative Technology.
- The Cottage Smallholder is on a crusade this year to save money, but even without the brilliant frugal ideas, this is a blog for anyone who likes to eat.
- Waste reduction is a hot topic at the moment, and so my final choices are two Zero Waste blogs. The first is The Rubbish Diet, which (AFAIK) was pretty much the first UK blog on this topic, and one that it spawned – My Zero Waste. Both very inspirational, and packed with ideas on how to reduce the stuff that we throw away.
As ever, there are far more brilliant blogs out there than I could mention in one post, so if I didn’t give you the nod this time then be patient – I’m sure someone will as the award rumbles on! In the meantime, why not treat yourself to a free blogger relief pack from Berocca?
The rules for passing on this award are as follows:
1) Put the logo on your blog.
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs. I’m off to do just that!
