East Sussex Reporting in ~ Take a look at some first international sightings!
Globes and posts from Hong Kong (the first!) to Australia and everything in between. Thanks to Annelisa from United Kingdom and her wonderful blog Words That Flow, who is taking time today to help me gather posts and globes. She is focusing on international blogs and the dog blogosphere. Mary Lynn of Beau's Blog is reporting from the Cat Blogosphere AND volunteering to make globes for the globally-challenged. We will continue to add to this growing list and report back to you. And please, send us everything you find! It's only halfway through the day and we're off to a phenomenal start. Take a look.....and many, many more where these came from. Adding as we go!
