My Favourite Friends, 2006 Food bloggers and non food blogger friends alike, thanks for enriching my life over the last year, I can't thank you all enough for being there for me through the ups and the downs.
My Family, 2006 To all those who started blogs: Mum, Beccy, Mollie and Dillon. To those without blogs, Dad and little Ben. To my dearest Fred, always by my side, I love you. And mostly to my beloved Granny who ended up in hospital two days ago with pneomonia and anemia for which she had to have a blood transfusion. Granny, I love you and I really miss you, I hope more than anything to be able to see you in 2007 and I hope you get out of hospital soon.
