My first award!

Aww, how sweet, Alice has chosen me for a bloggie award - blogging friends forever.

Not a "real" one you understand, like travel blog of the year or something like that, but an award given in the spirit of friendship and so means a little more to me.

I don't care how many of you will be gagging and thinking "how twee", I think that it is very nice and goes to show that it is possible to make friends around the world without ever meeting them!
