I am delighted to have received the following awards. Heartfelt thanks go to those who have nominated me and also to all of my followers.
Very Inspiring Blogger Award, February 2013
Many thanks to The Sexy Politico for nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I posted my first blog on Travel with Intent on 18 January this year so I am hugely honoured to receive an award so soon.
So, 7 things about me – well where do I start?
1. I work crazy hours, but I love it and I get to see the world a bit while I’m working;
2. I’m just about to change jobs so I hope my hours won’t be so crazy;
3. I was once a librarian;
4. Three of my favourite books are Little Women, Time Traveller’s Wife and Northern Lights;
5. I am a shopaholic;
6. I love learning languages;
7. I love animals, especially horses and dogs, … and donkeys, ..and elephants.
Now 15 blogs that I would like to nominate. Before I started my own blog I had no idea just how many fascinating and beautiful blogs there are out there. Here are my 15 favourites so far:
Wind against Current (especially for Johna’s post on Colette, though I love it all)

Illuminating Blogger Award, February 2013
Huge thanks go to Kelli Mutchler at Too Mutch for Words for her very kind award. She wrote: “I just started following this blog, so we’re not as well-acquainted as the other nominations; however, I already love how she mixes images, reading recommendations,and various weekly challenges, to inform.”
The Illuminating Blogger Award is issued by the Food Stories Blog. Anyone can nominate someone for the award, just head over to the blog.
The rules of acceptance are to reveal one interesting fact about yourself and nominate five other blogs for this exciting award.
So…
I’m mad about the Skinny Ginger Muffin that has just appeared in Starbucks in the UK
And…
The 5 blogs I would like to award are:
Fernando Barao with its beautiful, evocative photos of a part of Spain that I love. I especially love the Tarragona photos.
Kim at An American Girl Lost in Mallorca. Kim won me over with her post on delicious Cocas.
Francisco Goncalves’ beautiful Pankcho Photo blog about Barcelona, a city I just can’t get enough of. Francisco’s blog lets me feel that I’m there even when I’m at home in England.
Alex at WISIWIS: I adore Alex’s beautiful street photography in Moscow
Candace at Glenrosa Journeys for her beautiful photos of Phoenix and Arizona, another part of the world that I love.

Thanks again. These were a big encouragement to keep on blogging!
