I was thrilled with the success of the first Free-for-all Friday. It was wonderful that so many of you participated, either by sharing links to blogs that you have enjoyed over the last week, or by reading the blogs that myself and others had recommended. I know some of you even gained some more followers which is bloody fantastic!

This week I have also got a collection of corkers for you from various blogs that have caught my eye. Please go and visit them, they are worth it, Also if you have read something that you have enjoyed, then feel free to share it in the comments.

The Hummingbird Redemption This particular post I chose of hers was pretty poignant really. Rafaela reiterates that not every picture does tell a story, or at least not the one we were expecting it to be. I realised after reading this how easy it is, to get the wrong impression.

Behind The White Coat. I have been following this blog for a while now. Not only does she use some spectacular photos (all her own) but she writes some truly inspirational posts. Bring a doctor, she has many interesting tales to tell, funny, moving and in some cases heart-breaking. This one, made me laugh!

Dorkchops (That has got to be the best blog name ever)! We all need a helping hand sometimes in this crazy world of blogging, I know I do, That is why I chose this post. Very helpful, clear, concise and also very nice layout! I learned a few tips here as well. Her writing style is fun and open. Well worth checking this out.

Year of Awesome You This post really tickled me due to the sheer silliness of it. I have only recently encountered this blog, so was curious to find out more. She is one funny lady, and you really should check out her back story, as I roared with laughter when I did (plus I could identify with it as well).

My Grandfather Was An Undertaker As you know, I love a poem, and I am a bit of an old romantic too. Daleen has written a beautiful poem here as a tribute to her husband, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Travelling Banana  This post was a really funny, but extremely silly joke. I loved the way she told it, and I groaned at the punch-line, but it really made me laugh. To get your giggle for the day, head on over to visit.

Fourth Generation Farm Girl Tonya has a really wonderful blog. I love her attention to detail with her recipes, her immaculate presentation in her photographs, her inspirational stories and her passion for her farm.

Nutsrok Linda is one of the funniest bloggers I have had the pleasure of reading. She has got a crazy family, and a host of hilarious stories to keep you entertained. I loved this one.

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did, Have a lovely Friday.
