Forty-eight not in years of age but ranking in the Total Politics Blog Awards in the Lib Dem Bloggers category. I really, really, did not expect to be in the top 50 at all. So thank you to everyone who voted for me, and with a new lease of life having rested a bit over the summer, who knows where we all will be next year.

Congratulations go to fellow Northern Irish Lib Dem blogger Stephen Glenn, who once more is at number 5.

And as we all know, we lost Andrew Reeves this year. So it is great to see him up as number 3 Lib Dem Blogger in his final year.
