Eight Acres

I was recently nominated for a Leibster award  Kev at An English Homestead .  This is just a bit of fun between bloggers, and the Leibster awards have changed a little compared to when I last saw them , now they include 10 unique questions to answer.  Kev has asked some good ones, so I'm happy to join in.  The hard part is thinking of my own 10 questions for my nominated bloggers, but more about that at the end of this post.  First I better answer Kev's questions: 1. If you had a big lottery win what would you do with it all? I would like to say something unselfish here and spend it on something or someone else, but it depends how big the win was!  I would love to buy a property closer to the coast to catch more rainfall and for easier access to the beach.  If I had money leftover I would love to help city children to experience farmlife. 2. How do you think you'd fair in a zombie apocalypse? I reckon we'd do well.  The self-suf...

So I nominated myself for the Australian Writers' Centre Best Australian Blog 2014.... it seems that there are 1124 other entries so I don't like my chances!  But I may as well have a go.  I am entered in the People's Choice award as well as the rest of the competition, so here's how you can help, you just have to click on the link below and vote for Eight Acres .  Its listed towards the end of the first page, and then you have to click through each page using the "next button" and enter your details at the end.  I already voted for myself so I could check out the process for you!  There are so many interesting blog names in there, I wanted to see what the rest of them were about.  I have one month to collect votes, so I hope you don't get sick of me reminding you about it.  Thanks so much for your support!  click on link above 

I've only been blogging since last Nov, I thought it would be fun to record things that we do, but in the process I've discovered some really interesting and inspirational blogs as well, and that's really turned out to be the best part.  So I'm especially honoured that someone else has discovered MY blog and given me the Liebster blog award.  This award seems to have been circulating the blogging world for a while, I supposed its a bit of a chain letter, but I think its a fun opportunity to tell you about some of the blogs that I enjoy. This award is given to bloggers with under 200 followers. Here are the rules: 1. Thank the giver and link back to them. Thank you   Bruise Mouse !  I love your blog too, I especially love your passion for reducing waste through  recycling ,  composting , reducing consumption etc, because that's one of my interests too.   Bruise Mouse is also half-responsible for the  Sow Grow Give  initiative...
