Post Comment Love and Blogger Showcase 24-26 February 2017

Hello there and welcome to another Post Comment Love. If you were here last week, thank you, it was good to see you. If it's your first week with Morgan and I then welcome, we're happy to have you along and we hope you find some great blogs to read, and enjoy some of the special #PoCoLo love.

This week it's been a busy one in Greenwich as there's been more filming going on. This time for series two of The Crown. I haven't seen any of the actual filming, or any of the stars, not that I'd know who to look out for, but it is amazing to see how they've transformed one of the Old Royal Naval College buildings into the inner courtyard of Buckingham Palace, and then a couple of days later return it to normal.

One lunchtime I did pop along and admire one of the vintage cars, you see that inner petrol head is never far away. And just look at the reflection of the trees in the highly polished bodywork.

Blogger Showcase: Neha from I Heart my Life

1. Who are you? 

I'm a passionate blogger and avid reader. My blog, I Heart my Life, consists of different niches; it doesn't specialise on a specific one. I write mostly about things that resonates with me, like inspiration, motivation and universe stuff. Last year, I released a small e-book on "7 Keys to Happiness" which can be downloaded from my blog. 

2. How did you discover blogs/blogging?

I love reading. And, when you read a lot, you start to write. This is what happened to me.  A friend of mine introduced me to the world of blogging and that was it. 

3. Why did you start blogging?

Once I stepped into that world, I just couldn't stop. It has become my passion and part of my happiness now. 

4. What do you find most challenging?

The most challenging part about blogging is how to make sure your readers are enjoying your articles. Because if they are not, then for whom are your writing? 

5. What is your favourite topic to write about?

I like to write about what inspires and motivates me.

6. Are you blogging for fun or do you have goals?

I have my own blogging goals!

7. Have you ever attended a blogging conference and if so, what did you think?

No, I haven't. 

8. What are your 3 best posts?

1. They said I am Weird & Stupid. But am I really?

2. The Day I realised my Growth

3. Feeling Lost? Get Yourself Back!

9. Describe yourself in three words!

Adventurous, curious, positive.

10. Are you a tea and biscuits or coffee and cake person?

I am a tea and cake person.

11. What's your idea of a perfect night out?

My perfect night out is going to a restaurant I never went, experiencing new food..let's not forget the wine.

12. Your perfect night in?

My perfect night in is with my book and my wine. 

13. What would your best friend/OH/mum or kids say is your best  quality?

My best quality is the ability to stay positive in very bad situations.

Post Comment Love 17-19 February 2017

Hello there and welcome back to another #PoCoLo and thank you for your kind words and sympathy for my dentist visit last week, it's definitely one place that many of us would rather not go. I'm heading there again on Monday to pick up my mouthguard so that should be fun, and hopefully a lot less traumatic for me.

If you were here last week, thank you - I will get to your post soon, it's been a bit of a week - and if you're new here this week, welcome. We're a friendly bunch and we hope you'll fit right in.

We had the weekend in Norfolk, and for a change wasn't quite so lucky with the weather. I was glad that I didn't take my bike, and was very glad of mum and dad's open fire it was a great way to keep warm!  My photo this week is of their poinsettia - a pink variety, which I'd expect - and still going strong and quite apt for Valentines week.

Valentines for us this year was a cosy affair, we both worked from home, and so spent most of the day opposite each other across the table tapping away at our laptops in companionable (almost) silence, and then cooked a vegetarian curry for tea, which we washed down with a bottle of Vouvray, from Vouvray.  

Lovely and civilised, and for a change MOH who is usually heavy handed on his keyboard, didn't rock the table at all.  I think that could be though that our new table is just a bit more stable than the previous one, but it was appreciated nonetheless, a true Valentines treat! 

Blogger Showcase: Suzanne from Chickenruby

This week our Blogger Showcase is #PoCoLo regular Suzanne from Chickenruby and you can find out more about Suzanne over on Morgan's blog.  But before you go, I'm going to tease you with some info you might not know about Suzanne, who has no idea how she discovered blogging other than needing more than 140 characters to express herself. Her first blog post was about her week as a dalek, which sadly she hasn't listed in her top 3 posts, which is a shame as I think it'd be a corker.  And she doesn't have biscuits, as they give her migraines, well who knew, I'd be devastated if that happened to me.

If you're not already connected to Suzanne, do take a moment to pop over to her social links and say hello.

For me, it's lovely to feature one of our regular linkers, so if you link regularly and have thought about getting in touch with answers to our questions, please do, Morgan and I would be very happy to include you in a future Blogger Showcase.

Post Comment Love and Blogger Showcase 10-12 February 2017

Hello there and welcome back to #PoCoLo, if you were here last week it was lovely to see you. If this week is your first time then welcome, we're a friendly bunch and both Morgan and I hope you'll become a regular.

My week has been busy, and been one of contradictions. There's been a fair bit of hospitality and eating and drinking and at the other end of the scale there's also been a mammoth visit to the dentist. My crown is finally on, but not without a fight and some misbehaving, from the crown, not me. 

Somehow once it had the cement they couldn't get it on right, and the cement set so it needed to be drilled off. As a nervous patient anyway, this wasn't the best dental experience but there wasn't a lot I could do, was there?  It's on now, and has been behaving and I've a couple of weeks grace before I go back to pick up my mouthguard, which will hopefully protect my teeth from the grinding I've been doing in my sleep. 

Consequently I haven't taken many photos this week, but of course to contradict myself, and on par with my week I'm sharing two in this post. They're from a shop window on the way to the dentist, which I paused and admired as I arrived there earlier than I expected. I must have known I'd need some home comforts, and when I left I could quite happily have curled up in these. Well, apart from the fact they were in a locked shop's window, of course!

I'm definitely seeing a trend here with faux flowers, and I've a feeling I'm going to break soon!
