First birthday giveaway!!!

Yes - the blog is one year old tomorrow (19th September). To celebrate, I thought I'd get hip and trendy and do a giveaway :) This is to say a huge thankyou to all who read here - there are quite a lot of you, and every reading and comment is very much appreciated by me. It's lovely to think that people all over the world are reading what I write here. Nothing hugely exciting or earth-shattering, but hopefully it gives an insight into the way we live in our house, our steps towards living even more lightly on our lovely planet earth, and I'd love to think I could inspire folks to try something new or different.
This is what I am giving away:



Handknitted in pure wool, in a beautiful shade of teal; pattern is based on the very old "feather and fan" pattern.
If you would like to enter the giveaway, please say so below as a comment, or send an a-meil to:

Julian.Dean1@btinternet.com

I'll pop this up in the sidebar too.

Good luck, and I hope you continue to enjoy my blog; I love reading your comments, so please feel free to join in. Again, many, many thanks for reading this, I really appreciate it as I know how busy everyone is.
All best wishes from me.

Happy Birthday!! I really find your blog inspiring. I am not brave enough to have a blog of my own but do love catching up with yours.
I too have a great love of books and I am waiting for my very understanding other half to find some time to put up some shelving for me... I have books on aromatherapy, organic gardening/cooking, recycling, herbalism, reflexology, cats, dogs and so the list continues as does my collection!!

Kindest Regards,
Jane xx

Happy Birthday to the blog - I am fairly new to the world of blogs and you are one that I try to read regularly - I love the recipes and hope to do more knitting this winter - although I am still at "the very simple scarves for toy bears" stage!

aromatic here again... after leaving a comment on your blog last night, I thought long and hard about me starting a blog of my own and finally this morning have taken the plunge. I have not yet developed it very much as I am still trying to find my way around. Wish me luck! Will try and work on things over the weekend. Thanks for the inspiration you have given me.

I suspect I am too late for the draw, but I'd love to know if you knitted the scarf, and if you did ...where you got the pattern. It is beautiful!
And congrats on a successful year blogging about the sheer pleasure of simple things.
