What a terrific acceptance speech. I enjoy reading about your writing and I think your book covers stand out. They make me want to eat chocolate but that isn’t difficult as I love the stuff.
First of all many congratulations to you dear Martha! Well deserved. You are a fabulous blogger and a fantastic writer and my heart always lifts when I see a new post from you in my in-box. I always enjoy your posts, they are never predictable and always entertaining. What you don’t know about sodium and sugar levels frankly is not worth knowing! 😉
I’m absolutely made up that you’ve nominated me for the award also and I THANK YOU. You’ve made my day. I feel very honoured and flattered …can you see my blush? XXX
