I have thought long and hard about whether to include a blogroll because I fear I won’t keep it updated. I dip in and out of blogs. I read every post on a blog for months and then the feed fails, I don’t notice and never read the blog again. I click on the follow button and the next five posts are photos of cats sitting on multicoloured crocheted rugs so I unfollow. I like a little variety so I get bored with one track blogs. Sometimes the blogs fade away and don’t get updated. Sometimes they’re updated every day with long posts and I can’t keep up. Sometimes I just get fed up.
But there are some blogs where I read every post; blogs that provoke or make me smile; blogs that I learn from or inspire me; blogs that make me wish I was there or glad that I’m not.
So, here a few of my favourites though it’s by no means an exhaustive list of blogs I read.
