So, here it is.....Blogpost No.500!!!!

I started blogging in May two years ago and had no idea where it would lead me.....
I write simply because I love it, about anything and everything...
sometimes about myself and my life....
but mostly about the things I love and enjoy...
style, London, fashion, travel. reading. And a little George Clooney. 
Sprinkled with a dash of positivity and a sunny outlook...hopefully! 

I had no idea where it would go when I started....I couldn't have imagined it as it is now though - or known how much I would love doing it!!
And through it, I have done some fun things and meet some lovely people.

I always receive the most wonderful, heartfelt and supportive comments and I must thank some bloggers who have been with me since the very beginning.....
Kim, Ziz, Lori, Millie, Tracy, Jackie, Cathi and Deej.
And Caroline (who found me by accident when our blogs were listed next to each other but has stuck with me!) for always having the right words and hitting the nail squarely on the head ;) 
Thank you to everyone.

And so, for my Giveaway.

Last summer I compiled My Summer Reading List - made up of follower recommendations, new fiction and books I had always meant to read but hadn't got round to it.

I have done the same this year, having asked you for your recommendations last week .
Thank you to everyone who contributed, I now have a lovely new pile of books on my bookshelf - some of them authors who aren't necessarily familiar to me and books that I wouldn't possibly have chosen myself.


I have loved to read since I was very small and I was that child who could be found in a quiet corner reading to my heart's content. I also love to give books as gifts.....and so my Giveaway is this.....
a copy of ALL sixteen books listed above for One Lucky Follower.

To win:
Be A Follower.
Twitter and/or Blog about it for one extra entry.
Just leave me a comment.
That's All.
The winner will be announced next Wednesday.

I don't foresee any mailing issues, so this is open to anyone, anywhere in the world :)

Good Luck!!



Happy Thursday!!
