merlina Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I run a class on blogging for adults, and am always looking for a variety of suggestions of blogs that others like. My next class happens next month, so if you have a favourite blog, on any topic at all, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 My favourite blog is my cousins http://pinchypants.wordpress.com/ It started off being about her life in general; her hubby and kids and work, but then when she was diagnosed with breast cancer she started talking about that too. I guess I love it as I can hear her voice when I read and plus she is family. But she is a writer by profession, so it is well written too. There is a bit of language in it, just to warn you, particularly in the past year. I also love http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/ She has done some brilliant tutorials and this was where I learnt to crochet. This is also another one I like, but haven't read much of http://rumpydog.com/page/24/ Its written from the animals perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I like this one. But then again it's written by a family member so I'm biased...(not me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I read quite a lot of blogs, but I add to them and delete from my favourites at regular intervals when I discover a new one/get bored. Attic 24 is one of my favourites, but that's because of her crochet stuff. I discovered this marvellous lady just a day or two ago - Betty Bee, definitely one for any larger-than-average ladies to read! And this is a quirky little blog that I've enjoyed following for a couple of years - Much Malarkey Manor, mainly because the blogger is interested in similar things to me (chickens, bees) and I like her writing style. What I can't bear are the 'got up, went to the shops, came home' type of personal diary, I like to read the blogger's take on life and their musings rather than the routine of their day. And I really, really can't stand people who post photos of their meals - the best chilli con carne/casserole in the world doesn't really translate to a photo except as something rather brown and gloopy looking!

sadietoo Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks for the recommendation to Much Malarkey Manor Olly, I have added that to my favourites. I've recently discovered this blog thesightofmorning which I enjoy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I liked Beryl Saunders - have worked out that whatever she plants we should be doing the same a fortnight later. saundersallotment.co.uk I have no idea why my linkies don't get highlighted - oh well.

Valkyrie Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Ah, thanks Ryan. Kinsk, have to say I laughed at that one an awful lot - then had to stop because I spent too long howling at it. The fake tan section . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I read this blog, this isn't a recommendation but it's the one I read. It's called The Police Debating Directive. I'm on my phone and can't figure how to do links. It's pretty political and very anti privatisation of police. If you're a fan of present government esp Cameron & May then it's definitely NOT recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Kinsk, I just wanted to thank you for the link to 'slightlysouthofsanity'. Very funny indeed, although not for the squeamish or anyone unfamiliar with small children! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My favourite blog at the moment is down---to---earth.blogspot.co.uk. The lady who writes it is in her mid 60's and lives in Australia. She writes about living a more simple, less commercial life. She crafts, cooks all meals from scratch and grows her own veg. I found her blog about a year ago and follow it every day.
