And the winner is...

.
A big thank you to Gillian, Pat, Mapstew, Eryl, Starrlife, V, Reading Teacher, Carole, Anez, Roschelle, Lee Ann, Savannah, Sausage Fingers, Jen, Jacqui, Chocolatesa, Hope, Jayne, Vicky, Sandy, Cheche, Kepa, Adila, Attila, Frankie, Litzi, Snoble24, Mary, Fay, Hindsfeet, Michael, Katie, Falak, Allen and Ché (hope I've not missed anyone) for all the well wishes, positive comments and blogging suggestions generated by my last post.

There were lots of good ideas, and when we add in the fact I am a complete sucker for flattery, and you only get your 5th blogging anniversary once, I've decided everyone's a winner.

So, to each of you mentioned above, even if you didn't actually suggest a topic, or you were late responding, drop me an email (address found on my profile) and let me know which image you'd like me to email you.

And over the next few weeks or months, I'll try and include as many posts as I can based on the suggestions left.

  2. Knowing what a wonderful writer you are my wheels are already turning for a subject. I'm a complete sucker for second chances.

  6. Apart from being one of the (maybe even the) most honestly complex, authentic, and thus interesting people I've ever met you turn out to be the (or one of) most generous; thank you. I'm off to trawl red bubble, languorously.

  7. Wow! And I usually dred Mondays but you sure turned this one around!

    What a nice guy you are. What? More flattery? Um...and you take wonderful photos. :)

  8. Woo Hoo. I'm so excited. Of course I have company for several days as is my life but I will be looking for the perfect picture. You are a gem.

  9. I think it's best to write (or make art) about something you know or are close to. I feel a good subject would be how you became a photographer and possibly also, how you became a blogger.

  11. Hi Kim,
    You are indeed a generous person! Your posts are always a delight and now you’re rewarding us after having shared so much already? One thing that I truly appreciate is your ability to step outside the cliquishness that’s so prevalent in the blogosphere and embrace everyone...something that’s rare among bloggers. The coteries that are formed are a turn-off to those of us left on the outside looking in….

    I’d enjoy reading more about your photography and slices of day-to-day life in Castle Douglas.

  12. I can't believe I missed your blogiversary. I admit I came to you during your Blog of Note glory, because that was precisely the time I started my own blog. But I'm so glad I've stayed. I always enjoy my visits. (And I love your comments to Charlie!)

  13. Heh, I'm a devious little git.
    I figured I'd get a pic even though I was late.
    Rules ? Rules are for other people ! ;+P

    Now I feel bad, so, I'll work something out before I ask for anything.

    Watch this space.

  14. OMG Kim,

    You are too much.
    I'm not going to decline though. Course not. :)

    Now to survey those photographs. I think you might already know which one I'll request.

    OMG OMG... how lucky.

    Too generous. x

  15. Feel totally lucky and I'll hop right on it! Wow! WooHoo!

  16. Awww, you generous fellow you!

    I have an image in mind too! I'll be emailing you!

Anyhoo, congratulations to your winners. :)

  18. Thanks Kim, here's a good excuse for me to go and revisit some of your old pictures.

  19. It occurs to me that I am coming up on my fourth blogiversary. I sometimes feel as if the trough is drying up, but I don't want to walk away just yet.

    There's always recipes to post on Monday and as I have noted before, I always have several items sitting in my Google Reader that I hope to share with my limited readership.

    Which, by the way, if I haven't said so, I appreciate the mention in your blog roll, that surely sends a person or two my way from your always interesting and fun blog.

    Keep up the good work!
