I've been going around with a silly grin on my face today and singing a slightly amended line from a song remembered from my childhood - 'The Gnu Song' by Flanders and Swann. In case you are wondering the original line goes so : "I'm a Gnu, How do you do'".
Yes sometime yesterday evening I morphed into a guru !!! Himself could not fathom my excitement (it's a bit like the reaction I get when I call him to come and see some seeds that have germinated) so I must tell somebody who will understand. I also wanted to thank you all especially Stuart for making Blotanical such a great online gardening community. Since joining I feel as if have joined another gardening club. You might not be near enough to exchange seeds, cuttings etc. but you are all so generous with your suggestions, plant identification, photos, hints and tips, sharing your gardening experiences and visits and with your comments here. I've had so much fun since joining Blotanical just over a year ago. I am looking forward to keeping in touch with all the lovely folk I have already encountered and to 'meeting' more kindred spirits along the way. Long may the party continue!
PS If are a garden blogger reading this and wondering what on earth I am rabbiting on about come over to Blotanical and do join in.
Congratulations! I dont think I will ever achieve that staus!LOL

Congratulations on your Guru status. Love The Gnu Song especially '..nor am I in the least, like that dreadful hartebeast.' Now I'll have it running through my head for a while. ~Rebecca
ReplyDeleteCongrats Anna! It takes a lot of time to get to Guru.
ReplyDeleteMajor congrats to you Anna! I completely understand your personal hoopla. I experienced the same elation when I stepped onto that highest ladder rung a few months ago. The best part is having more Picks. Before meeting my Blotanical friends I had virtually no traffic to my blog. Depressing. Blot makes all the difference. Oh happy day!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anna!
ReplyDeleteAnd on your 1 year anniversary as Blotanist member!
I am just a few points to be a Master...
Well done Anna - when's the party? ;)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're enjoying life in blogland and over at Blotanical :)
Congratulations Anna - delighted for you.
ReplyDeleteI am still chortling over Jodi's comment.
Hugs

Congratulations on your "guru-isation", Anna.
ReplyDeleteNext stage - levitation. Hover mower?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Stuart is fully aware of how much pleasure he has brought to so many people.
Can Australians be knighted? If so, perhaps we should put him forward.
