Post Comment Love 25-28 March 2016

Welcome to another week of #PoCoLo in a week when I've been cycling around Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and experienced mixed results wifi-wise! That's also affected my ability to comment on and tweet last week's linkers, I'm slowly making my way through them though...

This is our "practice panniers" trip and while packing was hard work, because it needed to be precise, so far it's gone ok. As you read I may just be cycling my way back from Newark-on-Trent to Grantham (although that really does depend on when you're reading) and that may mean it might take me longer than usual to RT any tweets you tag me in, I'll catch up though and tweet them when I can.

We've already clocked up a 25-miler from Grantham to Melton Mowbray (and yes there was pie!) and a 35-miler onto Newark-on-Trent on a grey and chilly day, when the only thing to do was keep moving.

I will no doubt, be sharing more about our trip in the next few weeks so in the spirit of keeping moving, let's catch up with this week's Newbie Showcase.

But before we do, this week's link-up will stay open until 11pm on Easter Monday so there's more time than usual to link up your posts.

Post Comment Love & Newbie Showcase 18-20 March 2016

Welcome back to PoCoLo - Friday's are coming around quickly these days, which is never a bad thing is it. It was another busy link up last week and I am still working my way through some of your posts - somewhere along the way I seem to have lost a day this week.  If you find it I'll be pleased to have it back.

This week I've been getting some fairly major preparations sorted for our Easter trip and finally got the hotels booked - yes I know, nothing like leaving it until the last minute. In the end I phoned them to double check they had secure storage for our bikes overnight. I've not been able to do much about the weather but I'm hoping that it'll at least be dry if it can't be sunny. I'm not sure cycling in the we will be any fun at all. I'll let you know how we get on.

My post this week is all about a challenge I've set myself, quite a big challenge in fact and one it'll be interesting to see how close I get to - and now that I've built it up I'll let you know it's a decluttering one.

Newbie Showcase: Sarah from Craft Invaders

Hi, My name is Sarah, and I blog with my kids, over at Craft Invaders. It was the kids' idea to start a blog, we love reading other peoples, and I very naively thought 'how hard can it be?' 

Eleven months on, I now know exactly how much hard work it is, but we have definitely caught the blogging bug, and love it!

Our passions are connecting with nature, crafts, spending time together as a family and history, and our blog reflects this.

We love featuring our:

This year we have set ourselves the challenge to learn much more about wild foods and foraging, and are sharing our adventure through our blog and Instagram - we'd love for others to come and join in!

Thank you Sarah, it's our pleasure to feature you here today.

Post Comment Love 11-13 March 2016

Welcome back to PoCoLo! Last week's link-up was a busy one with lots of people joining in - and it was so great to see you all. Combine that with a day or two away from the internet and that meant that most of my commenting didn't take place until later in the week - but I got there! 

I hope you're enjoying reading each other's blogs as much as I am.

I already mentioned that I had a day away from the internet and it was great! We spent the morning digging over at the allotment and making quite a lot of progress, even though to the untrained eye it might not look like it!  And then spent the afternoon with my parents who'd popped down from Norfolk, like you do.

It was a year ago that I completed the six-hour danceathon at Wembley as part of Team Honk raising money for Sport Relief. That's timely as the post I'm linking up this week is the challenge that I'm supporting this year, it's been dreamt up by Nell from Pigeon Pair & Me and she's leading a London Museum Dash on 20 March. Do pop over and take a look and if you can spare a pound or two, you'd be supporting really good causes.

But before that, it's Newbie Showcase time.
