A very special win for this blog is its recent 3rd place award in the first Annual Bloggers Bash, for most Informative Blog. A huge thank-you to everyone who voted for me. To be honest, I never expected to win – not when competing against such worthy opponents, whose blogs I greatly admire. So, it came as a shock.
The competition described The Most Informative Blog Award as one awarded to bloggers with the most informative posts. Maybe they constantly post about new and interesting topics you love. Or maybe they post about fascinating topics you knew nothing about. A blog you find yourself longing to read a because of their content.
I’m tickled pink that my blog meets such high criteria, and extremely grateful to all of you who made this distinction possible. I’m also grateful to Sacha Black, who organized this amazing event, and her invaluable helpers, Ali Isaac, Geoffle and Hugh Roberts.
The best thing about this whole bash, of course, was that I got to find out about a bunch of great bloggers. So, why not head over to Sacha’s page and meet some amazing bloggers?
Congratulations on your award…!
Thanks! It was such a surprise 🙂
A nice one..
Congratulations!!
Thank you so much! It was quite the surprise 🙂
Congratulations Nicholas very deserved. I was pleased as punch that I managed to go to the Bloggers Bash, it was a great experience. 🙂
I’m green with envy 😀

That would be great it would be lovely to meet you. 🙂
Believe me, likewise!
Jolly good show! Well done.
Thanks! Most of the credit goes to you all, though 🙂
Ah I typed in “Congrats, you deserve it!” Then looked up and the person above me said the exact same thing. So instead I’m going to say it backwards, but I still mean it forwards.
Ti evresed uoy, stargnoc!
It’s okay. That’s the problem with being so award-deserving. It’s a curse I have to live with daily… Sigh…
Congrats, Nicholas. You deserved it.
Aw, thank you so much 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas! This is a well-deserved award for your fabulous blog. It is one of my favorites!
Regards,
Linnea

Yay, well done. 🙂 congratulations.
Thank you so much, Mary 🙂
Woot woot! You’re on a roll! Congrats! I’ve learned so much from you, I’m miffed it wasn’t for the first place…
Thank you so much! In truth, when competing with excellent blogs like Chris McMullen’s or my Ape friend’s, 3rd place is incredibly flattering 🙂
Kudos
I was at the meal when the announcements were made, and it was a popular among the other people there – lots of clapping, which seemed to amuse the other diners and waiting staff!
I so envy you now 😀
Although the news of its popularity does soften the blow. Thank you so much for that 🙂
Congrats on the award. You deserve it. I find your blog very informative.
Thank you so much, John 🙂
I wish to get you to note;
In your standard reply to a lot of the comments, “Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me.”
Be aware: Were the content not, the vote would not have been, either.
Translation? Congrats on writing posts worthy of being voted the best! 😀
I was wondering whether I should change that reply so that it doesn’t come across as repetitive. But it was what I genuinely felt, so I decided to leave it. I just can’t help but be so grateful for the wonderful people who follow my blog 🙂
Congratulations. 🙂
Thank you so much! Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Well, you inspired them to vote for you, so you did something. 🙂
Congrats. How fun and what an honor. Well-deserved. 🙂
Thank you so much, Diana. Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Congratulations!
Thank you so much – and welcome 🙂
Congratulations Nick – you really deserve this! 😀
Thank you so much, Jan! Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas! You deserved every vote. 🙂
Such a kind thing to say; thank you 😀
Well deserved.
Aw, that’s so sweet of you. Thank you 🙂
Fantastic!!
Thank you so much – and welcome 🙂
Absolutely, positively awesome 🙂
Thank you so much, Catherine 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas!
Thank you so much, Casidy – and welcome 🙂
Congrats!
Thanks, buddy! Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
But if you never made the blog and did quality content then there wouldn’t be a blog to vote for. 😉
As I was just telling John, I was wondering whether I should change that reply so that it doesn’t come across as repetitive. But it was what I genuinely felt, so I decided to leave it. I just can’t help but be so grateful for the wonderful people who follow my blog 🙂
Understandable. Blogs survive because they have an audience, so we’re rather beholden to those who read.
Yeah, Nicolas. My heartfelt congratulations! So happy for you!
Thank you so much, Erika!
Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
I understand what you mean. But just think what the reason was that so many voted for you
I hadn’t even noticed 😀
Haha…
Congratulations, Nicholas. You really deserved an award for your great blog. 🙂
Aw, that’s so sweet, Suzanne! Thank you 🙂
Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Well done, Nicholas. More power to you!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you so much, Pete!

Congratulations! A well-deserved award. (Though you have used the informative rather than inspirational badge!)
Oops, have I?? Thanks for pointing that out! 😀
Now, isn’t this embarrassing? Turns out it’s the most informative award I’ve won. Turning deep red here… I’ve updated the post to reflect the right award; thanks again for pointing it out!
Don’t be embarrassed. Easy mistake to make. Maybe you are inspirational with your information! 🙂
Lol – I’ll check with Sacha about an Inspirationally informational (or should that be informationally inspirational?) award for next year 😀
Either way sounds good!
Congratulations, Nicholas! Most Inspirational Blog for sure! Well deserved. Christine
Thank you so much, Christine!
Not sure I can take any credit, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Now it’s congrats for the Most Informative Blog Award. I voted for you on both, so went with Inspirational first. Could include Overall & Best Dressed, etc., too! Christine
Lol – I was so embarrassed when I realized I had written up the wrong award at first 😀
The whole bash voting, with too many blog posts about it was confusing. Hard to keep up. I took notes & got it wrong in the end. I’d go with Norah’s comment – maybe you are inspirational with your information. Christine
Lol – thanks, let’s go with that 😀
I couldn’t be more pleased Nicholas. Congratulations.
Hugs
Thank you so much, David!
Not sure I can take any credit, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me 🙂
Congratulations Nicholas, well done
CONGRATS @Nicholas – Way to GO!
Thank you so much, Gisela 🙂
