We applied to Linda Smith at 'Hugs R Us' for our first 'non-railway' award - The Peace Award and she kindly decided to let us have three awards at that time she gave us two bronze awards and a special Penmarric award The 'Whimsy Award' (of which I am very proud) We decided to reapply to Lin, having waited three months and Lin kindly relooked at all the changes we have made and said: You have done a lot of work to your site, and made some significant changes. I am impressed, and really glad because it gave me another chance to visit your site again. You will see that all your hard work has indeed changed your assessment values. I am thrilled to send along our top awards, the diamond for the Hugs R Us site and the platinum for my Penmarric site. It really makes a difference to revisit a site that has cared enough about their reviews to make changes for the better. I hope this is also reflected in other awards you may apply for. I am especially pleased to recieve all of these awards as Lin's awards are only given to Family Friendly sites and this will help parents to know that this is a family friendly and safe site. Thank you very much for your kindness Lin |
