500 posts which detail my random thoughts, rants, musings and updates on chickens, the garden, the cats, the wood, our house, Compostman and Compostgirl, doings in the polytunnel, at Eco Club, in the school garden and, of course what I have been doing with my COMPOST BINS!
and in honour of all this I am going to do a Givaway, which I haven't done before, so be gentle with me ;-)
If you want to join in, add a comment, saying you want to enter, and in 14 days time I will get Compostgirl to draw one of the names from a hat and, who ever wins, if you then email me your details, I shall send you a small gift!
It was my birthday recently and so I am feeling generous :-)
So...post a comment and see what happens!
Remember, the deadline is Midnight (BST) on the 30th May
I would also like to thank all of you for reading my words over the last few years and taking time to comment. I really value the feedback I get and the nice things you all say :-)
Oh and just to amuse you all, here is a picture of me modelling one of the presents Compostman got me for my birthday.
A new helmet with ear defenders, to keep me safe in the wood...(and yes, I DID want one, honest...)
Compostman said it made me look like a Valkyrie......I think that was a compliment - right?
Hiya, congratulations on your 500th post ! Please add me to your draw and keep posting !!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Babs xx
Happy 500th post and belated Birthday! Good luck with your giveaway too - don't enter me; you gave dd enough goodies when we met up and reading your words is gift enough for me, but just wanted to pop in and congratulate you on all your successes.

Congratulations on reaching the big Five-Oh-Oh! That's quite an accomplishment and since discovering your blog, I've enjoyed reading its contents and I've learnt a lot about veggies, chickens and compost!
ReplyDeleteI don't often enter give-aways but I'm always ready to make an exception for a Valkyrie! Come on Compost girl, pick me, pick me!!
Congrats once more on reaching this blogging landmark :)
It's a good thing you told us you wanted the helmet. ;) And being a Valkyrie is always good!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on 500 posts! So much composty knowledge shared!
I'd love to take part in the giveaway... as long as the prize isn't compost ;) Not that I don't love it... just that I have quite enough of my own :D

To all of you, thank you for visiting and yes, my back is much improved....I am sure in part due to the good thoughts you have all been sending me!

Hi. Well done on 500 posts. And lots with lovely photos too. I haven't got to grips with photos to go with my posts yet. It is my husband's birthday on your cut off date of the 30 May and he loves compost too. I think he might be quite pleased if the prize is a big sack of compost! Although delivery might be a little bit of a problem.... Anyway - congratulations on the posts and the birthday and the lovely idea of having a prize and sharing a bit of happiness.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a long post and hit the "publish" button and it has vanished :( I was just saying thank you for an interesting blog where I lurk and read and drool over the pictures of your land. Congratulations on 500 posts (with lots of lovely pictures) and on your birthday and on the idea of sharing a little bit of happiness by having a prize. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHappy 500th post! Just found your blog and have loved traveling around it this morning! And yes, you do look like a Valkyrie (and yes, that's a compliment, lol!).
ReplyDeleteMy family don't understand me - I love making compost.
ReplyDeleteThere I feel better now and amongst friends (I hope!). Congratulations on 500 posts. I have some way to go...
Hello lovely people
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, I am really touched at how nice you all are :-)
And also thank you for the lovely compliments about my posts and my photos...
I have been gathering together the givaway today...I DID wonder about posting a picture, but I decided early on to keep it as a surprise to the recipient...So I will post a picture only when I am sure the person who eventually gets it, has got it..
IYSWIM....
BUT..they will like it, I hope..
Happy Blog Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI am not commenting much as I am so Busy packing, but I'm still reading!!1
