In July of this year I will be walking the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall footpath. I am doing this in aid of The Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity that provides financial support to parents who have lost a child. This might be help with things like funeral costs for those struggling to afford them, or to allow the self employed to take time off in order to grieve.
Over the next nine days I will be showcasing the bloggers that will be hiking the trail with me.
Ed
Ed over at Little m Long a is a fellow nurse, although he gave all that stuff up a few years ago to concentrate on being a full time stay-at-home dad. To say I’m jealous would be an understatement. Saying that however I’m not sure I could cope with everything Ed does. He’s got five kids. Yes five. And the two youngest are twins.
How he has time to blog astounds me.
Ed used to write over at the blog Zoë’s Dad, but recently he’s shifted camps and set up home at Little m Long a (a reference to how you pronounce his last name). He was always a great blogger, but since moving he’s become even better. He has a lyrical and poetic flavour to his writing which is a joy to read.
Ed is one of the cornerstones of the little blogging community that I feel part of, and the fact he’s coming over all the way from America to join the walk is extremely exciting. And I know that his participation has been one of the things that’s spurred a few others to join too.
Looking forward to meeting you Ed. Even if you do have rather dubious tastes in tie-dyed t-shirts
Erin
Erin from the blog The Fierce Beagle asked me to point out that she will be the second youngest person coming on the walk after Arjan. And that’s true. She is the second youngest, even if she doesn’t look it.
I’ve already waxed lyrical about how much I like Erin’s blog, so I don’t want to swell her head any more with my praise. I will just say The Fierce Beagle is a fantastic read and you really should have her in your blogroll.
Oh, and her site is one of the most nicely designed I’ve come across. I especially like the sparkly header.
Erin’s another one who’s coming over from America to join the walk. She’s even dragging her husband Noah with her, which is rather cool as he sounds like just my sort of guy (a geek). He’s a police officer too, just like T J Hooker. Very exciting.
I am trying very hard to resist making jokes about nightsticks, so I think I should probably leave it there.

And on the subject of youth, can I point out that I will have the lowest mental age?

And as for your mental age, I didn’t even know that you could go into minus numbers for stuff like that before I met you.

Oh and I’ve also hopped over to Erin’s blog a couple of times and Ed’s blog sounds worth visiting too.

I’m quite happy to be featured alongside such an accomplished guy (reproductively speaking, although I guess his blog is all right, too).

Oh and this is a great idea–it’s fun getting to know the other bloggers from another’s vantage point.
