UK Blogs

A little while ago when I threw open the comments for questions Bells said that one of the things that she would like to know are what UK blogs I like as she is always on the look out for new ones. So for Bells and anyone else who is interested here is a little list of "local" blogs that I love. 

Chatiryworld is an Scottish, recently married, librarian, knitting, crafter. Good food, good knits and she recommends the best posts ever to me on my google reader!

Cherry is less of a blog these days and more of a one woman world wind! House stuff, crafting, food and best of all these days, the glimpses we get of her new house as she turns it into a home.

Ali was one of the first blogs I ever discovered in blogland and I have been an avid reader ever since. A slice of life that contains a bit of everything.

Vanessa is a knitter and illustrator with an incredible eye for colour. Every time she posts it is a visual feast for the eyes and her little illustrations are gorgeous. Not to mention her knitting and crocheting. Fab all round!

Jane's blog Posy always reminds me of stepping into a warm hug. Her house is a riotous explosion of Cath florals and vintage lovelies where Coldplay is always playing on the stereo with her crochet in a basket by her feet. Another one that I've been reading since forever.

Another Jane AKA Yarnstorm. I've made no secret of the admiration I have for this lovely lady. Her blog is amazing and her first book The Gentle Art of Domesticity is one I often pick up when it's grey outside and I need a pick me up. Jane's was the blog that really inspired me to start blogging and if I hadn't discovered her I certainly would never have started quilting. 

Ruth over at Two Hippos is a lovely lady both on her blog and in real life, I met her and her adorable daughter in a knitting shop and we both giggled and had that awful first are you her moment. I've read her ever since.

Anna is another lady who seems to churn knitting projects out at a rate of knots! There's always something new to see over in her corner and her journey to yoga is guru is one that I am finding fascinating to watch. And inspirational as I begin to think about whether the office world is really for me. 

So there you have them folks. There are more and perhaps another day I will sit and do another link love post. I've quite enjoyed wandering amongst these people and browsing the archives once again!

On a personal front I am off to Wales for a long weekend when I finish work at lunchtime tomorrow. I shall still post because there is no way I am going to fall out of Blogtoberfest this close to the finishing line! There is talk of outlet shopping, beach walking, possibly a castle visit. And hopefully a bit of driving round. I really need to start familiarising myself with more than G's Mum's house, the station and Cardiff City's football stadium!
