Following You Around

Well that time has finally come to say cheerio, to the clunky old Google reader and move to pastures new. So if you still want to keep up to date with my little bit of the web (and I really hope you do) then you will need to choose new reader, I've put a few different ones in the side bar (down near the bottom) and also a follow by email, if that is easier for you!  My favourite by far has to be Bloglovin' and its got even simpler to move your subscriptions over which can be no bad thing!
I hope to see you on the other side:)
