A Huge Thank You.......

to everyone that left me lots of lovely messages, certainly means a lot to know that you are all out there.

There are times...

when things are hard, and you cannot motivate yourself. Family can wear you down, when things are going wrong for them, and you need to be there for them, especially if you are their mum! And especially if you are the Nan..

We all have to let go of our children, but when things are like this, you never stop worrying, about the Hows, Why's and what is happening or going to happen.

I am finding that blogging isn't coming easily, and so might have to take a break from posting for a while. I won't stop reading my favourite blogs though!! Love reading them ...cheers me up.

I will back soon..take care.

Food Markets.....

After reading Robins blog ..My Melange , where she shared great photos of her trip, to a French market in Montreal..I thought I would show you our photos of one of our favourite markets...Boqueria market in Barcelona.

Friends Award

Funny, inspirational, and all around WONDERFUL guy, Ron, from VENT received a friends award from his friend, Akelamalu @ Everything and Nothing and then spread the love to his friends. Congrats RON!!! My friend Leesa from News From France, awarded me. I was amazed and it really made my day. I would really love to give this award to everyone, who reads my blog or who is linked to me.
I had a hard time choosing, sorry!

This is the thinking behind this particular award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this text into the body of their award.

So... DRUMROLL PLEASE.... in no particular order.... here are the 8 I pick!!

Sally in Norfolk
Chez Loulou
Bleeding Espresso
Creative Structures
Lucillian Delights
Bell'Avventura
The Inspired Room
