My blogging "CBE" – Happy New Year
Posted by Ellee on Dec 31, 2006 in updates | 26 comments
What a great end to the year, being awarded a Tory Radio “CBE” for services to blogging, a most unexpected surprise which is much appreciated.
Blogging has given me tremendous fun and I have “met” some great like-minded people in blogsphere who I would never have come across any other way. (See photo gallery at the top of the page, apologies if you are not there right now, you will be later).
I would like to thank everyone for their comments and support, my blog would be lifeless, like a body without a heart, if you did not join in the conversation.
I wish you a happy, stimulating and challenging New Year (it would be dull if it was too easy), one that also brings peace and success.
Hi Ellee,
Better late than never – been away for ages on hols in Scottish Highlands (!) but well done on the honour……and it didn’t cost you a penny!
It was great to meet you at CWO and in the blogosphere…
Grant, I don’t worry about the list of linkers as it simply indicates people from this site who access his blog, which is mainly me I suspect. I am, however, listed as one of Iain’s top 10 favourite blogs (listed at No 9 on his side panel), as well as one of his daily reads. I am delighted with that, naturally, that’s what really counts as far as I am concerned.
Congratulations on making Iain Dale’s top 30 Top Linkers in December… impressive!
James, Hi, You certainly are still on my gallery, second left. I’m not sure who you mean by “lower left”, but far left is Peter Martinovic from Slovakia, whose site will be of interest to you too, a friend of Praguetory. And far left the other side brushing shoulders with you is Captain Picard:

I had a blog free day today to visit family and spend time in Norfolk, it was very relaxing.
Happy New Year again to you all.
Wow, that’s terrific, Ellee. Congratulations – and a happy New Year to you and your family.
I see my photo’s now been given the boot but good to see Welshcakes in there and the boys but who’s lower left?
Well done, Ellee! That award is highly deserved. Your column is always such a pleasure to visit.
Happy New Year!
Hearty Congratulations for the achievement buddy, you always deserved it…
A Very Happy New Year to you…….

Happy New Year Ellee, pity you didnt make the party. Your presence was sorely missed by Sally and I. Hope to see you soon…..
happy new year Ellee , I wish I had more time to look in but I `m afraid the old day job will keep intruding.
Many thanks, Happy New Year to you too! Also thanks for dropping by and commenting on my blog as well!
Well done. Although not a Damehood? I’m shocked.

Happy New Year, top blogger. Enjoy a little break and come back strongly next year.
Perhaps we should have some proper New Years blogging honours next year!! Happy New Year Ellee – here’s to a great 2007.
Ellee, congratulations! That’s just marvellous and richly deserved.
I hope very much that you have a wonderful New Year’s night and an ever better year after that. You are truly a wonderful person and I consider myself lucky to have met you.
