Hopefully, ping backs will kick in for each of these, but I’ve added a post comment to each ‘about’ page as well. And yes, I do appreciate that people have different views on accepting blogger awards – some do, some don’t. So, if you’re one of those who don’t, sorry to have troubled you but as that doesn’t stop the inspiration, I hope you’ll simply accept the thanks and sentiment instead.
