Bonjour we celebrated lots of Independence days last weekend, on Sunday its Bastille Day in France, it celebrates the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and was the turning point for the revolution, if it had turned out differently. France would probably be a very different country. Belgium, (a part of) Canada, Czechia, Hungary, (a bit of) India. some of Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, UK and the USA plus French Polynesia all celebrate this day as well.
If you are celebrating this weekend Voeux Bastille (if I have gotten this wrong blame google)
That’s your history lesson for this weekend. Lets celebrate
If you have never done this before, give it a go, you lose maybe 30 seconds of your life adding a link and you never know who might see it, I will, my mum probably will, so its well worth it.
As everything is life there are rules, if you are new or just need reminding here they are
Rules are very simple,
- You can share up to five links
- They can be a post, your blog, someone elses post or blog
- You can comment on here from now till 11.30pm on Friday evening (GMT time)
- I shall start sharing on Saturday till 11.30pm Sunday (GMT time)
- It can be anything you want, however I will have final say if I think its is classed as an ism (racism, sexism etc)
If you would like to tweet, share, or reblog and get more people involved then go for it. Otherwise don’t be shy, you have nothing to lose by sharing something.
So if you have a post that you want more exposure, or maybe even your blog. Maybe you have seen someone elses post and thought I need to get that out, then share it. Its all a good giggle.
Just to add on this, don’t worry if you don’t follow me, just add a link, I love reading new blogs, you will still get approved (as long as you have followed the rules) and then reblogged, so if you have taken a look at my blog and thought, not something I am interested, well you are weird, but thats your choice, but your blog or link might interest another one of my followers.
This is such a great idea. Happy Bastille Day!

That’s okay. I seem to be put in a lot of people’s spam folders. Maybe I’ve been flagged for poor blogging practices months ago where I tried sharing links *tugs on shirt collar* yikes. Thanks anyways. Maybe I’ll give you a new link to share this weekend.

Hi Trina, We had company last weekend, so I was cleaning madly and missed the share! I’ve two posts, one about summer in Chile (in December), and the second about the US Women’s soccer/football team winning the World Cup. I can’t wait to read what everyone shares at the Fete. : ) Rebecca

And here are a couple of links from last week, hoping you’ll enjoy some of them!
Initially meant to publicly shame myself, this first attempt at singing for somebody else than myself resulted in much much blushing!
