I Would Like to Thank…

On Sunday, Moo from "Moo I Made It" presented me with a blog award. As you can see it is the Premio al esfuerzo personal (Spanish) award, which roughly translated into English means, "Prize to the Personal effort". Thank you Moo, it is an honour to receive it. Moo writes a great blog about sewing, gardening, and of late she has joined the Permablitz team in Melbourne and is getting stuck into making veggie patches of otherwise crappy old backyards. Of course all of these awards come with rules, so here they are;

The Rules

1. Select 6 bloggers to whom you would like to give this award- prize (definitely not easy to choose – only 6)

2. Put the award – prize on your blog and indicate who gave it to you by identifying her/his blog

3. Paste these rules on your blog

4. Write 6 of your most important values and 6 negative points you condemn

5. Inform the 6 recipients by leaving a comment on their blog. Inform the 6 recipients by leaving a comment on their blog.

Only 6 blogs. Well here goes are the well deserved recipients.

Camp Quality Country Mile Tour. Read about Phil, and his trials and tribulations of planning to ride a recumbent tricycle and trailer around Australia clockwise. He will be collecting donations for Camp Quality along the way. Say gidday to him, as he sets off around the country in March 2009. Plus he is a nice bloke, and I like having a beer with him!

Footprint Reduction in the ‘burbs. A relatively new blogger on the scene, but full of great gardening content. Follow the adventures of greenfumb in Sydney, who is trying to reduce her family’s carbon footprint.

Cluttercut. All the way from New Zealand, Daharja is passionate about setting up a Transition Town in Dunedin on the South Island. I love her passion and determination, and with a few more like minded people in my town, it would be something I strive to achieve. Well done. I know she has just received two other awards, but share the love I say.

taurus rising. Kel in Adelaide has just finished making a outdoors pizza oven, and with all that hard work gets presented with this award.

Hills and Plains Seedsavers. Presented to all the writers at this wonderful blog. All passionate gardeners, and willing to share so many tips and tricks and the goings on of everyday life around the Adelaide Hills.

Greener Me. Sarhn is a photographer and has been writing for a few month now. She runs her business in an environmentally friendly way, and is on her own green journey.

The Premio Dardos award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.

Finding Simplicity. Sharon does her best to simplify her life, one day at a time. I love her writing, and like her frankness and honesty.

Margaret’s Ramblings. Margaret’s blog documents her simple lifestyle, and she is an avid backyard gardener like me. I love the way she preserves just about everything!

A Greener Way. Nevyn is getting solar PV installed in about 8 weeks and is very excited. Well done. It will be the best investment you have ever made, and I am looking forward to reading about your installation experience. She is also an inconsistent gardener, but at least she admits it!

Go Greener, Australia. Julie is an advocate for heightening awareness about Climate Change. She writes about the environment, focusing on Australia and talks about issues and solutions and what she is doing at home to make the world a greener place.
