Happy May HivePUD Everyone!

Wow! I cannot believe it's May already - or that it's 2022 for that matter 🤣

As it's the 1st of May today, means that it is #HivePUD - hurrah! Now although we don't meet all the criteria to enter the prize draw, it was important to Ben and I to give back to this amazing community that we all know and love.

I am especially thankful to Ben for coaxing me back in (I had had a bad experience with someone on the Steemit platform back in the day, and I swore I would never come back - never say never, I suppose...)

Like all of you, we have our own trials and tribulations going on, and some of you may have noticed I've been really quiet on here this week. As we are still recovering from the dreaded lurgy Covid, it's been really hard just getting through a normal day. This week we've attended two car events, and we were both so exhausted that at one of them, we ended up having to take a nap in the middle of the day!

As I've been writing this, I've had chance to #HivePUD again! Hurrah!

So our participation in May's #HivePUD is our way of supporting all of you wonderful people we have been getting to know on this amazing platform, so here's a heartfelt thank you to:

Now, I'm sure I've forgotten to thank someone, so apologies in advance!

Last but certainly not least, thank you @streetstyle and @traciyork for starting - and continuing - to run this competition, as well as @theycallmedan, @traciyork, @abh12345, @improv, @cmplxty, @fionasfavourites, @livinguktaiwan, @blockheadgames, @raymondspeaks on behalf of the @brofund, @acidyo, @poshtoken, @dswigle, @pizza.witness, @zekepickleman, @hiveph, @victoriabsb, and @hiveblogshare for your sponsoring and gifting!

It's an awesome way to support each other, and get to see some new Hiveans and catch up with our friends here...

Annabelle 😊
