Remember when my mum wrote my first ever guest post, and it was brilliant? Well, I am delighted and proud to have her back again today to tell us what summer was like in olden times when she was young. Once again, it is brilliant. Thanks mum. Here's to many more summers to come. Now, where did I put that knitted bikini...? I have...
Today, I am beyond thrilled to bring you a double header by two lovely ladies who I am lucky enough to know in real life: my dear friend Kristen of What Kristen Saw (who has finally joined twitter, yay!) and her equally-talented friend Linsey McIntosh (who is also on twitter, double yay!). Summer in Scotland is synonymous with, among other things, music festivals. It...
As you (hopefully) have worked out by now, the theme of the Summer Love-In is, imaginatively enough, summer. So far, we've had a wonderfully diverse collection of posts that have each taken a different approach to the summer theme, from summer playlists to summer weddings to summer wardrobes; swimming in lakes, oceans and the North Sea; carefree days by the beach and dreaded nights of...
Right back at the start of the Summer Love-In, I knew that I wanted to share posts written not just by established bloggers who could knock out a stellar post in ten seconds flat, but also by my fabulous readers, who have stuck with me for the last 100 posts and hopefully will continue to do so for a few [hundred] more. The...
Yes, that's right. Today's Summer Love-In post is brought to you by none other than the Hubster himself. I'll give you a moment to absorb this exciting news. ... Absorbed? Ok? Good. When I first introduced Fin to this blog a few months ago, I mentioned that he was really into music and that, if you were very lucky, he might come back and...
And we're back to the Summer Love-In. Today, I am so happy to bring you the lovely Lauren McGlynn. Lauren also featured in my first Blog Love post, but since writing that I have been lucky enough to hang out with Lauren a couple of times and I can exclusively reveal that she is, without doubt, adorable. Like Lucy, she is an extremely...
100 blog posts, 100 pictures. If you think I'm going to credit all of these, you can think again. ...because I have a little something to celebrate today. Namely: 100 posts published. 613 comments. (387 to go...) 1,269 tweets. 2,669 visitors. Of which, 92 were searching for fake ponytails. Sorry about that. 37 pictures of my wedding. 21 pictures of shoes. £1.38 total money...
Well, hello there! Happy Monday (well, it is for me, because I'M ON HOLIDAY! Weeeeeeeeeeee!). Anywaaay... to help break the week in gently, I am so happy to introduce the delightful Lucy Stendall. Lucy was featured in my first ever monthly Blog Love post, so I've kind of already said everything there is to say about her. Basically, all you need to know...
And now for something completely different. I'm so pleased to welcome Rachel, who blogs over at Flowers and Stripes in the guise of her alter ego, Mrs Joan Hunter Dunn (I had to google it. I suspected, correctly, that it was a literary reference that had gone completely over my head. For a self-described bookworm, this happens to me worryingly often. But I...
Well, after the moving stories of self-discovery the Any Other Wedding girls gave us yesterday, I think we could all use a little light relief, amiright? Thought so. So, Lyn! I heart Lyn big time. Her blog, Another Damn Life, is one of my favourite reads; everything she writes just rings so true with me. Maybe it's because she tackles subjects that, on...
