Regular followers of this blog may have read one I posted in September discussing reasons why I love living in the Cotswold Hills – Three Very Special Cotswold Reasons: Thursday 24th September 2009. This was developed from an idea suggested by The Guardian in conjunction with the English tourist board, enjoyEngland.
To my amazement and delight, they have selected this blog as just one of ten to feature on their website. The link is http://www.guardian.co.uk/enjoy-england/bloggers-tips
So thank you to all my readers and especially my regular followers for encouraging me to keep writing. Your feedback is especially welcome.

Thank you so much, all of you. All this praise is making my head get even bigger than normal! When I started blogging I didn't expect anyone to read it and so it comes as quite a shock (a nice one) to find that so many do! Once again, very many thanks for all your support and encouragement. Johnson
