Posts of the Month (Not mine!)

It has been two months since I have had this blog up and running and beside the fun and joy I have received from working on this in itself, it has also opened me up to a whole new world – the blogosphere. I have been amazed and impressed at the intellect, humour and honesty with which people blog.

I decided that I would like to collate my favourites for this month and then share on a monthly basis my posts of the month. When I told the sporting obsessed Mr Infrastructure that I was going to do this, he said “Good idea, it is just like plays of the month.” He has the most amazing ability to turn all things into a sporting analogy!

Anyway here they are and I would like to thank these bloggers for sharing their thoughts, stories and tips. I have loved reading them.

From the heart:
Charlottes story – angel in heaven. An emotional and beautifully written post about a mother’s loss.
