Love this round up! Plenty of variety here and some excellent discoveries. I have enjoyed exploring the entries!
Thanks for adding me in, very sweet of you xx
It never fails to amaze me ..the variety of entries, the lovely photos and the number of people entering seems to grow by the month. That Blue Peter Award was truely deserved by Lou from Please do not feed the Animals – quite an achievement. Great roundup, looking forward to what next month.
Fantastic random round up, I am really gutted that I did not get round to contributing my recipe that I had chosen from 30th book on my bookshelf and from 30th page, but not got round to making because of my overseas guests – I really want to participate 🙁
Wow! I think this round-up has the best and most varied selection that we've seen yet! Amazing work everyone! I usually have just a few favorites that I lust after, but this month it's a 'veritable smorgasbord' of temptation!
I'm sure these just get better and better Dom. I've just had lunch but I'm now feeling HUNGRY all over again. Well done Lou for completing every RR challenge and thank you for your lovely write up.
