Post Comment Love 30 Sept - 2 Oct 2016

Hello there, and how is it Friday again so soon?  Welcome back to #PoCoLo, the friendly place to link up any post you've written in the past week that could do with some extra love. This week we've got another fab #BloggerShowcase for you, below you'll find a summary about our blogger and her social links, but for the full story pop over to Morgan's blog.

How's your week been?

I've had a busy one, well the weekend was especially busy. On Saturday we had a night out (I know!) celebrating my Korfball club's seventieth anniversary and I hit the dancefloor. Infact I even persuaded MOH onto to the dancefloor too, but don't tell anyone he danced to S Club, he didn't manage any of the actions to Reach, but one step at a time, hey.  If you've not heard of Korfball before it's a mixed sport, sort of a cross between basketball and netball and great fun. I don't play regularly (well at all) any more, but I do get invited to the parties, which seems a good deal to me.

Sunday was also busy, we started with a ride over to Excel and the Homebuilding and Renovating Show on the cable car. Then we headed up to the London Design Fair in the Old Truman Brewery - a fascinating building and a great show. I took plenty of photos, and have several blog posts coming up on that and we walked a fair way too. We ended our day with a fabulous meal in Dishoom, my first time there and most certainly not my last.

My photo this week is one from Shoreditch where these brightly coloured stacked picnic benches caught my eye. I'm still not sure if they are benches being stored or a modern art installation. But I liked them either way!

Blogger Showcase: Fionnuala from My Kitchen Notebook, Three Sons Later and The Inconspicuous Blog

Yes Fionnuala's a busy lady!  I regularly read Fionnuala's Three Sons Later and marvel at her talent for making things effortlessly chic, and have read her third blog The Inconspicuous Blog as well, but hadn't made the connection until she got in touch. I love the tagline and ethos behind this blog - for the quiet little blogs of the world  - Fionnuala says it's meant as a resource for hobby bloggers to find reassurance and guidance when things get too much and is an alternative to the big bloggers advice. Her original blog, My Kitchen Notebook, is a new-to-me blog and after a quick browse I'm pretty sure I'll be going back to try some of the recipes.

Post Comment Love & Blogger Showcase 23-25 September 2016

Hello there and welcome to another Friday and another PoCoLo. It's great to see you and you're welcome to link up any post you've written this week that could do with some extra love. I am starting to emerge from my new job haze, which is good news but I'm settling into my new routine and as usual, running to catch up with myself most of the time. This week I've realised that's just how I am, so that's how it'll be.

As predicted last week Autumn is now with us. The Autumn Equinox was yesterday and because I'm contrary this week I'm sharing a particularly summery image! It's another from Unsplash which I've been dipping into quite a bit this week. I need to rediscover my photo mojo again. I'm sure spending some time in Greenwich in my lunch hour will help.

Blogger Showcase: Nicky from Not Just The 3 Of Us

Thank you for including me here on the new Blogger Showcase. 

My name is Nicky Kentisbeer, I live in London. I am wife to ‘Iron Man’ (as he is referred to in the blog) and we have a 10 year old daughter (who is affectionately referred to as ‘The Kid’).  I blog at Not Just The 3 Of Us and have been doing so for just over a year.  Having left my job as a Business Manager earlier this year, I found I was spending more and more time on the blog and I absolutely love it.  I have recently fulfilled my dream of getting a self-hosted site and I am now allowing myself the gift of working full-time on the blog to see where it leads, now the school holidays are over!

I am a Lifestyle Blogger but I like to have a little natter about most things.  I also have a background in supporting small business start-ups and hope to put this to use in being able to offer a copywriting service to small businesses. I am really excited about the next few months.

Some of my favourite posts are:

Post Comment Love 16-18 September 2016

Hello there and welcome to another Post Comment Love - and the first with our new Blogger Showcase feature. Morgan is hosting the full feature this week over on her blog, so do pop over there and find out more about our fab blogger.

It's been another warm week here, and I've no problem admitting that I've been "slightly melting" for most of it, and I'm quite ready for some more autumnal weather. Which is lucky, as that's due to arrive today according to the forecast. I've already spotted conkers and some autumn leaves about in the park on my commute, so the photo I'm sharing this week is aspirational. Sadly it's not my photo but another from the great resource, Unsplash.

Before we get into our first Blogger Showcase don't forget this feature is now open to any blogger. If you'd like to be featured, then please do get in touch - we have free slots for October, so it'd be great to feature you.
