I was completely lost for words and unprepared when my blog received The Best Overall Blog Award at the 2013 Blog Awards Ireland ceremony held at The Osprey in Naas last night having already picked up Best Eco/Green, Best Lifestyle and Best Great Outdoors.
If I hadn’t have been I’d have asked everyone to give a round of applause to Amanda Web, Beatrice Hunt and Lorna Sixsmith for organising such a great night and for encouraging bloggers across Ireland to keep blogging. These three women voluntarily set up KLCK bloggers network back in 2010 And as a result of attending the monthly meetings and blogging in general, not only have I met and made many new and special friends, I’ve also picked up a tremendous amount of knowledge about social media, internet tips and blogging advice that complement my business that I wouldn’t have done without it.
I’m really glad I live in an area that offers such a support to those of us with a passion for our blogs and if you too love to blog or are thinking of starting one, I’d urge any of you to set up something similar in your own area if you want to keep on improving and learning.
Those of us who attended last nights event had a very enjoyable time. The cabaret themed room was full of style and splendour, the entertainment greeted with appreciative smiles and laughter, and warmth surrounded us from the company of fellow finalists and friends.
So I just want to say now, a very heartfelt thank you for the support and encouragement you’ve offered me since I began writing here four years ago and I hope I can continue to share content that you’ll enjoy and perhaps sometimes, make you think and comment upon.
If you’d like to keep up to date with posts, perhaps you’d like to subscribe to the blog by entering your email into the subscribe box or adding the blog URL to your feeder.
Thank you from a still very surprised but most definitely smiley,
Dee xx
