I've just signed up for the challenge and have entered a new site I am just getting online called Kitchen Blogging. Of course it's all about my favourite subject - FOOD! Hope your Christmas/New Year was good, I'll just read the rest of your posts to catch up a bit! Hope mum is well. My mum is buzzing right now - it's lovely to see.<br /><br />Enjoy the journey.<br /><br />MandyMandy Allenhttp://www.mandyallen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-77957782464187323152011-12-31T08:35:25.928+00:002011-12-31T08:35:25.928+00:00Hi Tina .. thank you .. the A - Z is such fun isn&...Hi Tina .. thank you .. the A - Z is such fun isn't it .. and it's not so far away now .. 2012 is so nearly here!<br /><br />Happy New Year - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-33009267527825960712011-12-31T01:23:28.192+00:002011-12-31T01:23:28.192+00:00Hey Hilary, nice to meet you!
