Appreciate the link Tejvan – thankya very much :>)
There is meant to be an “if” as the second word…writing skills are clearly defunct today…
Presumably it was seen as being worthy, it would be wonderful if my little blog made it up into the great pantheon above…though I am London based and thoughts do dwell on that location most frequently, I would love to be popped under “personal” or even “quirky”! Keep up the outstanding work!
I’d love to see my blog on your list if you think worthy. Probably in the category of ‘personal blogs’ and I’d like to think anyone looking for info on cycling in Suffolk would find it interesting.
appreciate the link Tejvan! Keep up the good work
