Blog-U-Like

[callmemadam]

There are some blogs, like Cornflower’s, which I look at every day and others which I visit occasionally. Someone who only posts about once a month would have to be very good indeed to keep me on their visitors’ list. Who knows what I’m missing out there? Here’s three current favourites.



Spitalfields Life. I’m sorry I didn’t come across this one before. The ‘gentle author’ is compiling a wonderful record of London life but also sharing a garden. What wonderful plants you can buy (and so cheap!) at the Columbia Road market. You can almost hear the centuries'-old cry, 'All a-growing and a-blowing!' Lovely photos.

Liberal England. You don't have to be a Liberal Democrat to enjoy this, because it's not just about politics. The writer likes cricket, black and white films and The Yardbirds, amongst other things. Eclectic, that’s what I like. Here’s a fun link from there, to the Daily Mail-o-matic

Read, Seen, Heard. Some fascinating images.

Thanks for your interesting suggestions. I find blog visiting quite time consuming though, much as I enjoy it.

It can certainly be a time waster!

I love my blog reader. It does all the checking for updates for me. Such a shame that not all blogs offer a feed, the Lib Dem one doesn't, as far as I can tell.

Great mail art in that last blog!

I tend not to use feeds but to have a blog folder where I store favourites.

I'm fascinated by those covers, too! The writer must have been collecting for years.

I used to do that (storing favourites and checking them regularly), but I found it very time-consuming.
