Post Comment Love 14-16 October 2016

Hello there and welcome to another week of Post Comment Love. And really our first week of autumnal weather, I think. It's been great to see lots of you continue to link up and both Morgan and I are pleased to see you each week. We really are a friendly bunch so if you're new to #PoCoLo then welcome, we hope you enjoy being part of our community.

This week I've dug out my scarf for the autumnal mornings, and I've been grateful for that. I'm resisting a proper coat for the moment and am relying on a chunky cardy. I'm not a fan of coats, but sometimes I know needs must, but I think the gloves will make an appearance first. But who knows. 

It's been a busy week work-wise, not a bad one, just busy. Lunches have been short and days have been long. I had a shock during the week too as I thought I'd treat us to a bottle of wine, but MOH though I was having him on as somehow I'd bought low alcohol wine. I know, not what I needed, and my first thought was why does this even exist.

Yesterday though I did get out for a wander at lunchtime and I stopped to snap the exterior of the Painted Hall. And I noticed something I hadn't before, can you see what's unusual in this picture?

HINT: LOOK AT THE CLOCK FACE

HINT: LOOK AT THE CLOCK FACE

Yes, instead of a clock, it has compass points. I assume this is a naval link as it's right on the Thames, but so far I've not found out for sure. But I did wonder why I'd not noticed it before.

#BloggerShowcase - could it be you?

We've plenty of free slots for our Blogger Showcase spot, so if you're working on some content to send to us there's no time like the present. It could be you next week. If you're wondering what the Blogger Showcase is, then it's an opportunity for you to share the best bits of your blog, your social media channels and some of your favourite posts. So if it could be you, please get in touch.

Post Comment Love and Blogger Showcase: 7-9 October 2016

Hello and welcome back to another week of Post Comment Love. This week I'm pleased to say we have one of our regular linkers in the Blogger Showcase spot and her timing is impeccable as we were almost without someone this week. So if you'd like to be featured, please do get in touch with Morgan or I.

Last Thursday we left London early and crawled around the M25 for a couple of hours before escaping the traffic for a lovely long weekend in Devon, and I've linked my post which gives a snippet of everything we got up to. I'll warn you now it was a busy one.

My photo is from the one of the many flower arrangements at Killerton and it seems I'm not the only one who likes a sunflower or two.

The thing though about a lovely, but busy weekend away is that it often makes for a tiring start to the week. I'm afraid that means I've been a bit behind commenting this past week, but I'll be catching up with myself over the next week, so please bear with me.

Blogger Showcase: Peachy from The Diary of a Little Peach

I'm Peachy, the blogging baby. I was born in December 2015. Eating, sleeping, and playtime take up a large part of my day and running a blog takes a lot of work and commitment. Luckily I have mommy to help me. She is a very good assistant.

My blog is called The Diary of a Little Peach because when mommy held me on the day I was born, she said I was her sweet little peach. I launched my blog in April of 2016 and it has been an incredible journey. Mommy and I have been enjoying this adventure together and we can't wait to see where it will lead us next.

The Diary of a Little Peach is a parenting blog written from the perspective of a baby. I write stories about my observations, thoughts, and discoveries. I have been told that I am funny and that my perspective on things tends to be humorous. Maybe that's just because big people don't understand the serious business of being a baby.

My blog isn't just a collection of fun stories and entertaining tales. I want to be useful and helpful to parents and my fellow babies. I rely on my personal experiences, along with some research assistance from mommy, to share helpful tips, ideas, and guides on subjects such as bedtime routines, feeding, developing social skills, playtime, physical activities, and more.

Mommy and I have been busy developing a new section on The Diary of a Little Peach which consists of my favourite baby food recipes. Mommy cooks, I taste test, and then my favourite recipes get published on my blog. It has been going very well and my online cookbook has been expanding at a steady pace.

Not only am I busy doing taste testing, I do product testing as well. Toys, clothes, and baby gear are subjected to my rigorous testing. I even try out apps because a modern baby needs to stay on top of developments in technology. My favourite finds get a review on my blog.

The Diary of a Little Peach is a different kind of parenting blog with a unique take on things. I want to share everything that mommy and I have found useful on our journey together, along with a good helping of fun and humour. Being a baby is hard work, and mommy claims parenting isn't easy either, but that doesn't mean we have to be miserable about it.

Here is a sampling of my favourite posts:

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.
