Thank you so much to fellow food writer Acorn in my Kitchen for awarding me the ‘One Lovely Blog’ award. It really means so much to have my little collection of food thoughts and travel writing appraised, especially by someone who has a large following. Acorn in my Kitchen makes Spanish food sexy. Like all good cooks, her food is made with love as she acknowledges her Spanish heritage. Perhaps it is our mutual love of the Mediterranean which has brought us together. So, as is custom for these types of awards I am to present seven facts about myself and nominate fifteen other bloggers, although because I’m not sure if it is strictly limited to food, I have named the blogs I find particularly good. Here goes:
- I aspire to discover lost knowledge and antiquity rather than strive to invent something new
- Fresh figs and ripe persimmons are my favorite fruits
- Jasmine is my favorite flower
- My favorite memories always include my sister and my parents
- I sleep talk – a lot!
- I believe nothing is final and anything is possible
- Of all the birds, I believe Robins have the most beautiful song
