We Blondes are very proud of our blog and it is clear from my ‘special Blonde administrator’ numbers that lots of you Blondees and Blondettes enjoy reading it.
We never expected, however, to be nominated for a national award …
But we have been … The Great Outdoors Awards 2014 (Outdoor Blogger of the Year). This is obviously a matter of great importance to us. The prize appears to be … well I think it is an evening at a Lake District pub full of outdoorsy people and canapes (I didn’t know they had canapes in the Lake District) … which, as you can imagine, we Two Blondes would enjoy very much (in disguise of course).
I have no idea of competition protocol in these circumstances, but if it isn’t cheating … you can vote for us here http://survey.nqsm.com/index.php/465869/lang-en (the Outdoor Blog category is the last one). While you are at it, cast a vote for the wonderful Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown too. If they win, we Blondes might get some canapes!
Good luck to the two blondes, Fox Tor cafe and Rohan from BTGMum
probably an offence under the prevention of corruption act but who cares
in such a good cause
Woweeeee!!! Fingers are duly crossed, knotted and – – so now how am I going to do my piano practice for choir?
Done for both.
Pity there wasn’t a category for “hat of the year”.
Thank you very much … your hat would definitely have won!
Me, I’m inaugurating The Great Indoors Awards 2014. Won by the blogger who stirs least from a sitting position and who best understands the law of diminishing returns. Thus I am careful not to be profligate. In front of me I do not immediately see a computer monitor, not even the switch-on switch, not even the blue light which indicates “on” but the blueness of the blue light. The exciting aspect of my award are the endless opportunities for cheating. And when I say endless I mean infinite. I type a word on the screen and that’s one discovery, I misspell it and that’s another. You get the idea.
But, dear Blondes, pity me. It is a project born out of envy and confirmation of a secular version of the Pope being God’s surrogate on earth. You are both walking on my behalf; you are heroic whereas I am cowardly; you breathe fresh air while I breathe my own arm-pits. Wishing to maintain the Biblical tone I’d say “Go forth and multiply” but that would be jejune. You are both unique and cannot now be counterfeited. Clean in body and in mind.
All I can say is I’ve been dieting for over a year and have lost over 2 stones. Gradually my navel is again becoming visible and in time I will be able to contemplate that. Then silence will descend.
As Archie Rice says at the end of Osborne’s The Entertainer: “I have have a go, ladies and gents, I have a go.”
It is said that navels can also be contemplated out in the open air!
