Neighbours.

There are a couple of big-house blogs in this list. They are the ones that I visit respectfully, where I sip tea from a china cup in the front room but refrain from expressing an opinion and don’t really know the occupants.

The blogs I’ve taken to my heart are the small homes, where one devoted blogger invites me to sit at the kitchen table. These writers share their triumphs and failures, their hopes and aspirations and feel very much like real world friends.

This list is not exhaustive but I am exhausted so I will add more when time allows.
