Vivat Spittoon and Cooksister
11 May 2008
Just a quick post to tell you to look elsewhere, specifically here, on Andrew Barrow’s Spittoon site, for a review of a lovely evening of wine, food, photography and blogging (well, I think we talked about it anyway).
Andrew has very graciously used my photos from that evening on his site, a particular honour as his site is the my main reference for the best wine photography.
Nice to meet cooksister too. I have yet to get properly immersed in the world of food blogs, but I shall certainly be following her site from now on.
This, to me anyway, is a great riposte to those who look down on the ‘antisocial’ aspect of blogging – writing away on your own, usually late at night. Blogging has introduced me to lots of great people I would not have met otherwise, and for that I am very grateful, particularly to those who read this site and comment, and keep me going.

It was a pleasure meeting you too – and I am wildly jealous of your fabulous pictures. Clearly I was having far too much fun to remember basics like umm, white balance and the like!
Hear hear on the social aspect of blogging too – I’ve met some great friends through the blog, which was an unexpected bonus. Look forward to meeting up again – maybe at Excel??

It’s nice to know that you made this blog not just for your own insight and i think it’s really nice to meet some people especially like you. Keep it up and you are doing a real nice job.
