The Wilf Lunn Vision On Award

Blogs can drift towards dullness and can all too easily decline into a samey load of wittering.

So....which blog has kept you amused and stimulated with new ideas, form, formats and the like.

And I don't mean memes and other such chainletter-like twaddle

Basically who has been the most inventive and interesting blogger?

    I would like to nominate VP at Veg Plotting particularly for her innovative fundraising Open Garden last year which raised I believe £1000 at least

    Would have to say Arabella Sock - you never know what to expect, but you know it'll be worth the visit

    Right everyone, thrilled as I am to be nominated and I would dearly love to win, I'm now going to completely scupper my chances by reminding you of a mere soupcon (if only I could put the little curly thing on the c there, you'll just have to imagine it OK?) of GM's inventiveness:

    Notes from a Small Shed
    Allotmental
    Celebrity Hijack
    Dig Brother
    12 Days of Christmas
    Guide to Funky Stuff
    Guide to Bullshit
    Guide to the Idiot Box
    Internet Moment of the Week
    Garden Party and...

    These very awards!

    Good as all the nominees are, we are but mere pale imitations. Except for JAS maybe, who has an infinite capacity to cram as much interesting trivia and bric a brac as possible into posts purported to be about gardening.

    Thanks VP.

    I've put a large wodge of unmarked cash, some naked photos of Matthew Wilson and some of Dan Heims heucheras in the post.

    Does at least one of MW's photos show his S Club 7 tattoo? If it does then I'm beside myself with excitement! ;)

    Not only that, one of them relates to an article he did on brassicas and you can clearly see his clubroot.

    It has to be said that Arabella amazes me, because of how inventively she uses all the technology. She just makes me laugh so much anyway, but the Gifs and tiffs are a joy to behold. For sheer exploitation of the myriad possibilities of the blogosphere, Ms Sock.
