Al Humphreys recently listed up his favourite blogs on his site – here – and he was kind enough to include us in his list. This had the double effect of making us feel pleased that we had made the cut at the same time as making us feel guilty that we haven’t been blogging as much as we would like!
So… first of all – thanks Al – if we could reach even a fraction of your blogging prowess we would be chuffed!
Secondly… Here are some blogs that I enjoy to be added to the mixer (sorry if there’s any overlap with Al’s list – this is a quick cruise through my Google Reader)…
