TGO Outdoor Blogger of the Year

I am very pleased indeed to be named The Great Outdoors Magazine’s Outdoors Blogger of the Year. It was wonderful even to find out I’d been nominated, let alone to hear I’d won. If you voted, thank you kindly!

I’ve been writing about the stuff I love to do (I think my first ever post was about cheese rolling!) for almost five years now and I’m so proud to have such a wonderful readership. Ta very much ducks!
