It is with great pleasure that I can tell you that Sue, Stuart and I received third place in the Most Inspirational Blog category of the 2016 Annual Bloggers’ Awards in London, earlier today.
The turnout was great, as you can see from the picture, above, with many times more attendees than the inaugural event last year.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Sacha, Geoff, Ali and Hugh for a great deal of effort over the past few months in putting the event together. The venue was The Driver gastro pub, near Kings Cross station and we had an excellent guest speaker (Luca) from the company behind WordPress.
Nick Verron, Sue’s eldest son, received a second place in the best newcomer blog category.
A huge thank you for everyone who voted for us, and Nick.
Such a wonderful day it was! Gutted I couldn’t stay longer!
Congratulations to you all!!! 😊😊😊
And to you, Ritu, on your second place award
Thank you Steve 😊
Well done but more importantly.. well done Nick!
Very cool all around! (If you guys got up that high I can’t even imagine what first place blogs were like!!!!)
Thank you, Darcy – extremely good is the answer! We’ll leave the Awards committee to give the full results.

Welcome 🙂
Congratulations to Sue, Stuart and you, Steve. Thank you so much for joining us at the Bloggers Bash. I’m only sorry I didn’t get the chance to speak to you some more.
Looking forward to seeing you all at next year’s event.
Best wishes,
Hugh
Let’s catch up sometime soon, Hugh!
That would be great, Steve. Have a great week.
Congratulations. It’s a well-deserved honor.
Thank you, Don. That’s a lovely comment.
You’re welcome.
Congratulations! Oh wow, I just found Nick’s blog through the winner’s announcement today. I was up for the same category and when I went to congratulate him on his award, I was blown away by his story. That’s so neat to see that both him and his mom blog. I look forward to getting to know your blog better and am so glad to have found it through the Blogger’s Bash. Congrats again! 🙂
That’s lovely. Happy reading!
And Sue’s story is just as heroic – and often unsung. So be sure to say hi to her.
🙂
Yay you guys! I also came third. Maybe we should have a 2nd and 3rd party, lol. 🙂 Nice to be included.
