Congratulations 🙂 Will vote for u. My blog has also got selected. Do check “Personal development” category and my name, Sneha Narayanan , would be there. Not sure why they mentioned my name and not my blog’s title. But anyways, if possible, do vote for me (Only of u liked my blog, would love to win fair )
You are most welcome, Pete. Looking forward to Julie winning on this one, and you attending. Really! This is meeting your fellow bloggers, and meeting is what you do well. I so desperately want to lecture you on this, but I’m sure Julie has done that. 🙂 Best wishes to you, Pete.
Congratulations, Pete. A well deserved nomination. I wish you’d come to the Bash. It would be great to meet you and Julie. Maybe you could smuggle Ollie in, too. It’s a bit more than a couple of hours – it’s most of the day. Do think about it.
I was surprised to be in ‘Entertainment’ myself. No idea who decides, I suppose bloggers can vote somehow. It’s all new to me. I have a lot less than 5,000 followers, so no expectation of winning. Shame about the flowers, you would have stood a great chance, Jude. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
Yes, it’s in London on June 15 and any blogger is welcome to attend. Here’s the website: https://annualbloggersbash.com I’ve been twice and it was great to meet up with bloggers from all over the country and from abroad, too.
I’m with Fraggle…never heard of this either…but you definitely deserve this nomination. Will keep my fingers crossed. Seriously cool…and of course congrats 😊
Well….I do, because you know something? Your blog always entertains: it has so many cool things going on it: either personal posts, movie reviews, stories…it’s the diversity and the great writing style you have: so yes…definitely entertainment alright 😊😊
Thanks, Susanne. I’m not just saying it because he is your brother, but John really deserves Best Entertainment Blogger. He entertains me every day! I would vote for him, if I wasn’t also nominated. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
I guess I never thought of categories, but then, I gave up thinking for Lent. 🙂 [Just think what I would give up if I were religious!–use your imagination.] Congratulations,, for the entertainment nomination ( you and John), I confess, I did not read all the nominees after that category.
Warmest regards, Theo
Thanks, FR. I suspect I was nominated by John Rieber. It is in the ‘Best Entertainment’ category though, so not sure if I qualify. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes I saw it there, along with John’s, did you nominate each other?? 😀 I think the entertainment category is perfect. A little sad there’s no pphotgraphy category, not to be in it but to see some good photo blogs.
Unlikely. Would have to sort Ollie, get trains, hotel etc. Just spent well over 4 grand on the house renovations. Next we have more decorating, then carpets. I have to remember I am living on retirement pensions. They are unfortunately not bottomless. 🙂
Of course she wants to go! Pete, you are always sensible. I think you need to be un-sensible and go to the Bash and have a thrilling time. Julie is with me on this. Go!
Congratulations Pete! I’m so thrilled for you and John! And I can see why you’d fit into the Entertainment category. You’re blog is one of the most eclectic ones I know. Your posts run the gamut from photography, film and song reviews, personal reflections and essays, and even book reviews. And don’t get me started on your stories. You are so deserving of this nomination!🤗
