How very kind and thoughtful people can be. As the ‘Watchtower‘ approaches its two month anniversary, two blog friends The Catholic Nomad and The Lonely Pilgrim have both nominated me for the two awards listed below.
very-inspiring-blogger-award
– commentator-blog-award
This is so kind of them. Both their blogs are sources of inspiration and information, and I’d recommend them to anyone who likes this one.
I now have to tell you 7 things about myself and nominate others. So here goes:
- I am an Anglo-Catholic Anglican
- I am an army wife
- I make biscuits
- My sister is 25 years older than I am
- Chalcedon 451 is my brother in law
- I am a fan of Liverpool football club
- I am a good shot with a rifle
My nominations – assuming I can’t nominate those who nominated me (which I would do like a shot) are:
nebraskaenergyobserver
A wonderful blogger from Nebraska,who not only tells it like it is, but is a fund of information and humour.
Public Catholic
A marvellous and inspirational Catholic politician who lives her faith in the full glare of politics.
crossingthebosphorus
Another spiritual pilgrim whose blog is a fund of wisdom and help.
Keri Williams
An inspirational Christian who provokes thought and prayerful reflection.
All far more worthy – and all highly recommended.
All Along the Watchtower 
It slipped my mind that she wa nominating you, too. But you certainly deserve them. 🙂

Yes, thanks, it is surprisingly comfortable (and affordable too, a major plus!).
Now if only I could get that fly (who has moved itself in with me) to move on to greener pastures…

Glad to hear it. I always find the evenings in hotels the most difficult bit. Always end up with room service – single woman alone at dinner never good for me. Hope fly vanishes!

Thanks for the kind words about my blog. But I’m not sure I get this award nomination thing, am I supposed to do something now? It’s been raining all day, so I could go outside and jump in some puddles… 😉
(Seriously though, I’m not very techno-savvy at all.)

JessicaHof – Like your list;
I am an Anglo-Catholic Anglican
I am an army wife
I make biscuits
My sister is 25 years older than I am
Chalcedon 451 is my brother in law
I am a fan of Liverpool football club
I am a good shot with a rifle
They all sound good except for the Liverpool football club.
But I do not take it seriously since the true English religion is their county football team, and if you believe in God instead, that means you can not be a serious fan. A servant can not serve two masters.
As a Man who has heard the bugle I like the rifle bit.
I once was in Crew rest, and I heard in my sleep a military bolt slam shut, and found myself behind the door shaking, and here while at the army day here in Czech I heard the spoon come off a hand grenade and without thought, pulled the Czech in front of me down to cover my body. (they were setting off a grenade in some sandbags unknown to me). The Czech was not amused when he figured out why I had pulled him down over me.
I think you should win because you are an unusual English woman, you should have been born in the time of Empire.
Question: When is the Queen (may God bless her) going to swim the Tiber?

You’re very kind Tom. I was brought up in the country and we were encouraged to shoot as soon as we could handle a shotgun. I took to it – so much so that it was one of the things which attracted my husband 🙂
Liverpool FC is a homage to my daddy, who did rather worship it. I like watching athletic men, and prefer rugby really. As I used to live in Wales, it was a good preference.
