Magical Weblog Tour

I've been visiting a lot of weblogs lately - impressed by all the writing styles and feeling very much at a loss as to what to write on this one. The mug of tea is symbolic of the level of my inspiration - half empty is how I would describe it at the moment. I am therefore going to send visitors to this blog on a journey to some people I really find interesting. Sit back in your chairs and enjoy.

Travelling to the United States first, drop into Feathers of Hope in Davis, California. Pica is a friend of mine from school, 30 years ago - both she and Numenius write superbly. Heading across the country, we have Tvindy writing from Muncie, Indiana. This is always an enjoyable read and I particularly look forward to his Friday posts. For a glimpse into the life of a writer/poet/philosopher/farmer/environmentalist treat yourself to spending some time in Virginia with Fred at Fragments from Floyd. Moving north, more than an hour can be spent with Beth at Cassandra Pages who has been keeping us captivated by writing about the Consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson in New Hampshire. The comments attached to these posts are also great reading and thought provoking. In Canada, visit Dan at North Coast Cafe and Chris at Bowen Island Bowen Island Journal. These are fascinating weblogs with beautiful photography.

Now, heading across the Atlantic, drop into Coup de Vent's weblog London and the North - "A tale of two lifestyles: living between the capital city and a Yorkshire village". This blog is a treat. For a taste of life in Spain and Spanish culture, a visit to Jonathan's Puerta del Sol Blog is a must. (Which reminds me that I should be studying for my spanish exam on Dec. 1st). We then move onto Japan to Laughing:Knees - a beautiful weblog - hours of work must go into this one and it shows. Butuki puts my expressive writing (or lack of) to shame.

Back home, I hope you, the imaginary reader, have enjoyed this "Magical Weblog Tour" I have taken you on. Now, to the Spanish study without delay......

Thanks for the mention! Writing about other people's blogs is always a good way to write a post when you have nothing to say. I do it all the time.

If you want suggestions, I would love to see pictures and read more posts about some of the interesting wildlife you have down there in Australia. I don't suppose you have kangeroos hopping down your streets or koalas in the trees in your yard or crocodiles in your sewer system. But the ecosystem is so different there that I'll bet you have something of interest in addition to the birds and insects.

Also, I've heard that the Australian map reverses north and south, so Australia appears on top of the world. Maybe you could post a picture of that map.
