It has been a bumpy old ride, my first full calendar year as a Catholic blogger. But, on the whole, I have found it enjoyable if a shade challenging at times. The greatest benefit to me has been the fact that blogging has brought me into contact with others of the same or similar mind and I have enjoyed the company enormously. I have decided, therefore, to mention those whom I feel have helped me by their outstanding posts. The difficulty has been in limiting the list to 15 or so bloggers. I have had to leave out so many good friends (a quick review of my bloglist will show you who they are). Also, I have not included blogs written by our priests. It would be an impossible task to try and sieve through these - they are all so very heartening and good! So here it is, the Linen on the Hedgerow New Years Honours list for outstanding services to the Faith in general and me in particular (and not in any particular order) :- 1. Services to the Catholic Social conscience (and mine, especially) Laurence England - That the Bones you have crushed may thrill 2. Learned theological debates that give me a headache - Outside the Asylum (and Tony Layne also gets a bar to his award for running two excellent blogs (OTA and The Impractical Catholic) 3. Sound historical facts about the faith, well researched and written in a most beautiful pictorial setting - Dylan Parry at A Reluctant Sinner 4. Most heartening blog that makes me feel Catholic again - Philothea on Fire 5. For fearlessness and kicking Episcopal doors open – Catholic and Loving It, James Preece of course. 6. For writing the posts that I always wished that I had written – Mary O’Regan, The Path Less Taken 7. Squaring up to what the faith embraces and for being on the journey - Stuart James eChurch blog 8. Hanging on in there, waiting for the full reform of the reform - Joyce at The Little Way 9. The hope for the future - those at Juventutem London 10. More hope for the future and a blog that puts me in a good frame of mind….Charlie J at Chasubles and Chalices 11. For having the sharpest mind on all matters theological but also for not blogging enough - Paul Priest at On the Side of the Angels 12. Reminding us of the glories of traditional bling….John Sonnen at Orbis Catholicus Secundus 13. Giving us biting satire and poetry to match, Chris Wright at Left-Footer 14. Keeping the flag flying in a cold Calvinist climate……Brian at Umblepie 15. Punchy theology that's to the point and true to its name - Ron Garcia Making Things Visible Thank you all and may God grant you a Happy and Peaceful 2012!

David Roberts Esq. in the Dress He Wore in Palestine by Robert Scott Lauder 1840 David Roberts RA (1796 – 1864) was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for a prolific series of detailed lithographic prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced as watercolour sketches he made during long tours of the region between 1838 and 1840. These, along with his large format oil paintings of similar subjects, made him a prominent Orientalist artist. He became a Royal Academician in 1841. For more information on Roberts and for earlier works, see part 1 also. This is part 2 of an 8 - part series on David Roberts: 1837 Picturesque Sketches in Spain In 1832 David Roberts travelled to Spain and Tangiers. He returned at the end of 1833 with a supply of sketches that he elaborated into paintings that became very popular. He executed a series of Spanish illustrations for the “Landscape Annual” of 1836. Then in 1837 a selection of his “Picturesque Sketches of Spain” was reproduced by lithography by Hodgson & Graves of Pall Mall, London. 1 Title page.
