I'd like to thank the Academy

I've been nominated for the Stylish Blogger Award by Joe at Lead, Paint and the General. This peer to peer award has been doing the rounds for the last few weeks and has been featured on many of my favorite blogs... and now it's my turn! Thanks Joe, I appreciate it.

The rules of the award are simple; Thank and link back to the person giving you the award (done above); Share seven things about yourself; and Select 10-15 blogs who you think deserve the award. Well here goes...

Seven things you never knew about BigLee

1. I have an Honors Degree in Environmental Politics.
2. I met my wife at School when I retrieved her tennis ball from a neighboring garden.
3. My eldest daughter was in TV Series The Sorcerers Apprentice on CBBC a couple of years ago.
4. I've been asked to collaborate on a book as the Photographer.
5. I have something in common with Hitler, but at least I'm not as bad off as Goebbels.
6. I have traced over 200 direct line ancestors on my Family Tree.
7. I once stood on a mans chest while he lay on a Bed of Nails!!

10-15 Blogs who deserve this award (in no particular order) Some may have already been nominated by others, but thats because they are excellent!

• DJK's Fantasy World
• Stokesbook
• The Angry Lurker

If you've not been nominated don't despair. You'll be amazed how hard it has been to come up with just 15 when I regularly read over 100! All the blogs I follow are fantastic and I do my best to read them all and leave comments where possible.

And just in case you didn't believe me when I mentioned the guy and the Bed of Nails....

I love the look on the faces of the two women to the left of the picture. Horror, sheer horror!
