Linking up with Ashley and Neely for the Sunday Social
New Year, new friends. Back to the beginning so you can find out all about me (in case you missed it before).
1. What is the name of your blog? How long have you been blogging?
My blog is London Calling - it's all about London; living there, working there, going out there. I've been blogging here since 2006 - but I had two blogs (lost to time and the internet) before that so probably overall about 8 or 9 years.
2. Why do you blog?
I like to share bits of London (my favourite City), the antics of my cat, strange things that catch my eye, great days out - and anything that crosses my mind.

3. What is the first blog you ever followed?
I just spent several minutes about that, and I'm not sure that I can actually remember. We're talking several years ago here! I think it was probably a health related blog written by one of my online friends with MS, probably Access Denied

4. What is your favorite post you wrote in 2012?
This one about Friends. I love the picture (which is my brother and cousin when they were small), and the way technology affects our lives fascinates me.

5. What are your blogging goals for 2013?
First; enjoy! When blogging becomes a chore then I've lost touch with what it's all about. Second, keep writing. I always start well and the get lazy. Who wants to read if you've nothing to say.

6. Name your top 3 favorite blogs.
I have to choose only three?! I have so many! OK - I'm going to choose three I love that maybe you haven't read, so you'll find something new to read today:-
tomroyal.com - Tom is a journalist, so he writes excellent posts (first reason to stop by), he also loves cats. I found his blog when trying to cheat at Assassins Creed when I landed on this post.
Serendipitous - I have now idea how I met this lovely blog, but there are beautiful photos to go with great little posts. I just love the title too.
Fresh Eyes on London - even a born and bred Londoner can learn something new, and this is the place to do it. Again wonderful photos too!
