I have had a very busy few days but now that I am in front of the laptop I thought that I better share with you all that my blog has won an award. As I had mentioned I was in the finaland on Saturday night  the Irish Blog Awards took place in Belfast.  An aunt, with whom I was very close to and fond of, passed away on Friday night so naturally I wasn't able to travel to the ceremony. Jack and I kept a close eye on Twitter and we were overjoyed to see people tweeting that Nessa's Family Kitchen had won Best Newcomer! Sheilia from Gimme The Recipe was good enough to collect the award for me. Thank You again to everyone that makes the awards possible. I'm really chuffed and honoured to be a winner!!

Check out some of the other winners from the night!
