I’m excited, honoured and a little freaked out to announce the voting is open for The Annual Bloggers Bash Awards and Gin & Lemonade is up for Best Overall Blogger.
I don’t know who nominated me, but I will find you and I will tackle-hug you.
I’ve been writing this blog for years, and it means a lot that I’m up for this award, with so many other great blogger friends.
Voting is through this link, and it would mean a lot if you’d be so inclined to click the button for Gin & Lemonade.
Since the award has the word Overall in it, I guess that means I ramble too much about a little bit of everything to fit in the other categories.

and these are my top posts of 2017.
I appreciate all the love from my friends and groovy readers, and if you’ve ever wanted to tell your friends about that random blog written by the disabled American living in Scotland with her tall husband and talkative kid, now would be a good time.
The fam and I are off on a road-trip this weekend, so I’ll share the shenanigans, as ever.
So, a road-trip post and a reading roundup are coming up. Edit: Road-trip post is over here.
And this is another question, what would you like me to write about in future posts?
Good luck to all the nominees up for awards. Click here to vote!
