Wow, thanks a lot, Mell! 😊
Didn't really expect to become Blogger of the Week and a front page-blogger within one week, after years of obscurity in the depths of Travelblog.

Guess that means it's time to step up the game and blog, innit? 😉 Reply to this

Indeed! I was hoping all this week that somebody would give him that 3rd recommend, that would get him on the Front Page. It would have been a real pity if it didnt happen.

So, we have had a successful promotion of a Blogger of the Week! 😊 Reply to this

Thanks for the kind words, Dave and Merry Jo and Mell! You better go easy on the compliments, I might become all full of myself and arrogant 😉 But seriously, it's great to finally get a bit of positive feedback!

And by the way, no need to apologize, you didn't overlook me, my blog was private until sometime last year. Reply to this
