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!!! 😊😊😊

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! 🙂

And Sue’s story is just as heroic – and often unsung. So be sure to say hi to her.
