Greg of the brilliantly titled Flick & Mix has been so kind as to bestow this honour upon me. My second nomination for an award and following my Versatile Blogger award this one is equally as special. I was stunned when I received my first award and so I would like to send a huge shout out to Greg for nominating me for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award as it is his first and highly deserved. Go have a browse around his fantastic blog, I found Greg’s post on game-to-film adaptations of particular interest.
Rules:
1. Display the award on your blog
2. Announce your win with a post and link the blogger who awarded you
3. Present 15 deserving bloggers with the award
4. Link your awardees in the post and let them know of their being awarded
5. Write seven interesting things about you.
The origins of the Dragon’s Loyalty Award are a little hard to come by. It turns out a simple Google search won’t suffice and as such I am not inclined to dig deeper. Instead I’d like to interpret my own definition. There are those bloggers that write, then there are those bloggers that read. Both are excellent at what they do and by naming one blogger I am not deliberately filtering another. I’d like to nominate those bloggers that fill my ‘Reader’ with beautifully crafted wordsmanship, interesting reads, and unyielding interests, all the while presenting their own inimitable personalities and style. While this fulfils the writing element it’s always nice to know your own work is being read and enjoyed, by dropping a simple ‘like’ or leaving a highly appreciated comment.
Like Greg I’ve opted for a selection of 10 bloggers I would like to nominate for the award. As I am aware the majority of you have most likely received this award recently feel free to take a bow and drop a couple of lines to the amassing audience in appreciation but please don’t feel obligated to extend the nomination unless you’d like to.

Anything goes, I would love it if you want to make some!!! I’m going with a summer theme… If you do want to make one / some they just need to be BIG. 1050 x 500 is the size of the header on my theme. If it’s bigger than I’ll have to crop some of it….
Also please use the words- shitfest 2015: summer somewhere on there : ) also, include the name of your blog if you want : ) I appreciate ANYTHING – ANYTHING helps : )

Well done Jim! You bloody legend!!!! <3
I like your interesting facts, food is definitely one of my favourite things too. Though I've never been able to eat peanut butter. Not an allergy…I just don't like it! I'm the un-fussiest person in the world but I very much dislike peanut butter and marzipan. I love toast though.
Tell me your stance on pate? Smooth or course?
And Philadelphia cheese…………..on crumpets?! (controversial)
Thanks for my nomination, it really means a lot! An awful lot!! You're the best. I love reading your posts, you're really interesting and have interesting opinions and I think you're a wonderful writer too, it's fun reading your work :)
Oh yeah and you're very funny too!

Peanut Butter has got to be the best damn thing on the planet!
Also marzipan is wicked! We’ll have to disagree on those treats. Pate has to be smooth and I’m not a huge fan of spreadable cheese, it kinda freaks me out and I generally just don’t trust it, definitely not on crumpets, that’s gotta be raspberry jam all the way!
You are too kind :) I’m just happy people are enjoying it so thank you!! Haha yeah I know the one, EI said the same thing!
