A long, long, time ago, easygardener gave me a very welcome award - the E for Excellent award and recently Rhiannon from GreenPatch spoiled me further with the Arte y Pico award.

Now it’s time to pass these treats on to some great bloggers who have entertained me over the last few months.

Apparently I can choose 10 bloggers to recognise but that seems like an awful lot so we’ll see how the list pans out:

• Soilman - for his down to earth style, who manages to educate and entertain in almost equal measures.
• Nigey - who understands my bodging antics.
• Faites-Simple - beautifully written, interesting posts. I love following this one for the rural escape plan.
• Carrots and Kids - pick a post any post and you’ll love as I do.
• The Big Sofa - another of my favourite blogs and we are practically neighbours!
• Someone else’s Kitchen - Amanda has just moved over to Canada and now lives life on a mammoth scale, see the toilet rolls or greenhouse.
• An Artists Garden - for the sheer beauty of it, but what do you expect with a title like that?
