On Monday I met with one of my blogging buddies Sami of “sami’s colourfulworld”. Sami lives in Perth, Western Australia and was in Portugal visiting family. When she suggested she delivered the prize I’d won on her 100th blog POST and GIVEAWAY in person, I was absolutely delighted!
It felt surreal to chat face-to-face rather than through the comment sections on our respective blogs, and great to discover we had so many interests in common!
Thanks Sami 🙂

I was thinking what you’d call these meetings – bleet-up (from tweet-up?), mog-up (from meet and blog)? Or what about just plain blog-up? Sounds like a great thing to do. And a holiday in Portugal…

If I ever make it to Portugal I’ll visit you! Maybe I’ll bring some seeds or something from my garden, it would be nice for bloggers to bring a gift associated with their blog subject, eh? (note the Canadianism!)
