Liebster Award

I was nominated for this award by Carissa at Musings of an Introvert. Thank you so much, Carissa!

The rules of this award are as follows:
a) Answer the eleven questions of the tagger
b) Share eleven facts about yourself
c) Nominate up to eleven other bloggers
d) Ask those nominees eleven new questions

There we go! First up are Carissa's questions:

1. Where do you go to decompress from the world?
When my pony was alive, this was definitely the riding school where she lived. I could almost literally feel the stress falling from my shoulders when I spent time there with her and among the other horses. I believe animals are great stress-relievers! Nowadays it's just at home, with a good book or a nice series.

Sunflower Blogger award!

I was nominated for the Sunflower Blogger award by Hamlette from Hamlette's Soliloquy. I'm so grateful for the nomination, but also feel a little bit awkward, because I haven't been blogging as much as I would like the last few months... Hopefully this award will be a good impulse!

The rules:

1. Share 11 facts about yourself
2. Answer questions set by your Nomination Blogger
3. Nominate 11 bloggers
4. Set questions for the nominated bloggers

Here are my 11 facts:

1. My favourite tea is Twining's Lady Grey
