Thank you so much those of you who recommended me for the Award - I am very touched that you think me worthy of it. Sadly my computer skills do not spread far enough for me to be able to transfer it to my page. I don't think anyone can do it for me but please be assured that although the Laughing Horse is not smiling/laughing at you all as your read my next post (coming shortly I promise) he is there is spirit. A Happy New Year to you all from a very wet, miserable day in Wensleydale.

Happy New Year to you. If I lived closer I would gladly transfer your award to your blog page!
A happy new year to you Weave.
Keep on blogging❤️
Happy New Year and well done on the award. Catriona
I would vote for you if I could Weave!
So well deserved.
Congrats, Pat! You certainly deserve it as your blog is always inspiring and interesting.
Your blog is a good one and we who follow you know that.
If anyone deserves an award for outstanding writing it's you, Pat. Of course, there are other bloggers who move me one way or another. Say, Rachel. Rachel's blog is quirky, baffling at times. I have never taken mind altering drugs but imagine they are a bit like her. Tom Stephenson. Whilst he hates my guts [I once called him vain - men don't like that, so he severed all contact with me]. He too is an original character - which is why I keep reading him. I find him amusing; to the point.
Then there are bloggers who should also be awarded a trophy. Alas, unlike YP and his "committee" who start at the top, I'd start at the bottom. I can see John weeping with gratitude into one of his snotty hankies now. Till he realizes that he has won gold for all the wrong reasons.
YP - I also called him vain. Like TS he too is a man of principle. Not to mention pride. Once you step on his gout he'll never forgive you. Joint gold with John and Tom. Let the jousting begin.
You mentioned dying. In the last few years two wonderful bloggers have died (no they weren't vain - quite the opposite; neither did they dissolve into tears at every corner; neither did they resort to the lowest common denominator, namely foul mouthing those who don't resonate in their echo chamber). One of them died - as they say - before "his time". He was intelligent, kind, witty, warm. He had a wonderful way of diffusing my comments without rancour, without prejudice(!).
And then there was another - also calm, laid back, full of joy. Generous, charming, open to others' thoughts. We live(d) on different continents so didn't meet though we had visions of us dancing in the rain (monsoon). His blog, my comments, our emails, the occasional phone call. When he died I was stunned. WHAT? How is that possible? He was a fixture in my life. Yes, Pat, I believe it's the ultimate accolade to be remembered so very fondly - even by relative strangers - once the final curtain falls. How I will miss the Weaver of Grass.
My thoughts are with you, may 2024 be kind to you,
Ursula
Well deserved. Congratulations. You are the best. Thank you for writing. Susan from Massachusetts.
Congratulations, Pat! No surprise that you won. You are the second blogger I follow that won the award, which I had not heard of before now. Wishing you the best in this coming year.
Congratulations Pat on your award, and also Happy New Year to you.
I have followed you for over twelve years now and my admiration has increased at each challenge, triumph or adjustment you have made during that time. It has been wonderful to be able to smile with you or commiserate. A well-deserved award. - Pam.
Of course - yours is the BEST BLOG EVER!!! Jackie
I don't even remember how I found you, but I have enjoyed your blog. You do a beautiful job of pulling out stories from your memory bank and breathing life into them once again. I love to read those stories.
Congratulations. Perhaps a small trophy for your mantleplace! LOL.
Never mind the Laughing Horse picture, Pat. As others have pointed out, we know your blog is worth reading, which is why we return all the time and most of us comment on nearly every post of yours. That in itself shows that you manage to hold your readers' attention.
Well done, you!
Glad you won an award Pat, you deserve it. I think it is just copy and paste, or perhaps YP can send in the form of an email. Just as a thought, can the weather get any lousier than it is. I could swear, it has rained every day for the last two months.
Happy New Year to you too Pat, congratulations on the award, well deserved. It's dreary and wet here in Lancashire too.
Happy New Year Pat, congratulations on your well deserved blogging award. As Alan Bennett would say, keep on keeping on…Look forward to your blogs. Carole
Happy New Year, Pat dear!
Congratulations on the award. Your blog has cheered me and many others more than you'll possibly know, and you are held in our hearts.
Happy New Year to you, Pat! I hope it's a healthy and happy year ahead for you with lots of interesting books to read and friends to share joy with you.
I hope your son, one of your carers, or a computer savvy neighbor can transfer the Laughing Horse award to your wonderful blog for you. Congratulations on that award!
Hugs!
Congratulations on the Blogging Lifetime Achievement Award. Weave, I turn to your blog for ideas and inspiration. Often a reflection or question you pose has got me thinking. Thank you! Jenna, Denver USA

Jenna I went to beefgravy site but still couldn't make sense of it. In my present state my computer skills are sadly lacking.
Thank you everyone - you are much appreciated
Congratulations! Happy New Year! - Niki from North Carolina.
Congratulations Pat. I hadn't heard of this award, but you certainly deserve it. Wet and miserable here too today and not much hope of improvement yet. Keep warm, dry and safe, and keep blogging.x
Happy New Year Pat! Your blog has always been the best! Many of us appreciate you and your blog!
Didn’t know it was possible to vote but, had I known, you would have got my vote.
I applaud your general optimism (difficult in today’s world), your kindness and acceptance of differing views. You don’t shy away from difficult subjects and allow people to have their say. The comments on your blog are often as interesting as your posts.
Thank you
Congratulations on your award. You certainly deserve it.
How wonderful that you got the award Pat,you deserve it, Mary
Congratulation, How wonderful !
