Blogging blind date...

There's nothing like meeting a kindred spirit. I made a real life blogging friend and we met up yesterday for a blind date. Amanda from Forty not out is just about the nicest person I could have hoped to have a coffee with and chat, chat, chat about all topics from shoes to motherhood to marriage to babies to blogging and back to shoes again (well boots actually - the perfect winter pair?). Who would have thought that I would meet someone over the internet? Blogging is like the gift that keeps on giving for having these hidden perks. And as for Amanda, who has made a business out of it, all credit to her for carving out her little niche.

OK so it wasn't quite like this on a blustery Portsmouth day, but close...

P.S. Amanda has also launched the The Online Stylist where she provides fashion and style know-how...let me just confirm for you, in case you were wondering; 'style' could be her middle name...

So, with that, I will just leave you with something pretty, tall and aspirational...
