It Doesn’t Rain, It Pours…

July 29, 2008 @ 19:08 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

Awards are pretty cool when you get nominated as per my post yesterday, however I have also had the pleasure of being given an award by a someone who enjoys my daily ramblings about our sustainable lifestyle. This was just hours before the news.com.au green award nomination!

A huge thanks goes to Sharon at “Finding Simplicity“, who hails from the UK. I think that I found Sharon’s blog a few days before I started my own, and by reading about her daily quest to live a simpler life helped motivate me (along with a few others) to begin my own blog.

Here is what Sharon had to say about my blog;


“Gavin at “The Greening of Gavin” – an Australian blogger who shares why he chose to live a more sustainable lifestyle and how he does it. I love his friendly, casual style, even though his posts are often about subjects that are far from casual.”

Thanks Shazza (that would be your nickname if you live in Aussie). Love your work!



Now to be only fair, there are many blogs out there that are worthy of awards, but I believe that all of the bloggers who I have listed in my blog roll deserve a similar award. So, consider yourself nominated to receive the “Brillante Weblog – Premio-2008” award, nominated by yours truly and seconded by Kim, as we read them all the time and enjoy each blog with their own special uniqueness. I tell you what, if we were all the same, we would be a boring old bunch, wouldn’t we?

There is one other blog and person that deserves a mention in dispatches, and that is Phil over at “http://campqualitycountrymiletour.blogspot.com/“. I like his vision and determination to overcome all the hurdles necessary to make his dream of bicycling around Australia a reality. Not much content yet, but I know that the adventure is just beginning for him. Ride on Phil, ride on!
