I set up a Gmail account (which I really must remember to check as I tend to read the comments on the blog page, rather than by email) and any comments go there. But the whole thing really pissed me off, I loathe the technological side of blogging. Like you, it's about the connections, friendship and sharing of our lives and stories.

However you at least will get to the bottom of the problem, where as I sit and sulk like a spoilt madam until someone fixes it for me. Usually Marc. I do make nice food though, so I guess it all balances itself out in the end. I chuckled at the frog story. Olly would have loved it. I'm afraid he's all about the tooth and claw bit of nature at the moment. I found a bird skull n the beach and bought it home for him today. He was fascinated by it, and spent a long time speculating how it may have died....<br />Have a lovely wee.<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-48498236784150548142016-04-18T19:35:20.846+01:002016-04-18T19:35:20.846+01:00An exciting breakfast event.

I am quite possibly a bit too matter of factly. I just visited Kristie at North of 49 and she seems to have the same problem, which she thinks have started after she started using Bloglovin. If you get a new email address, you will need to change the settings for your email and comments so the new address is used automatically (you can't change the primary email address for the blog, I tried). Choose 'settings', then 'email' and then change your 'comment notification email'. Maybe this helps, good luck. Wishing you a good week, with little drama (poor old frog) and lots of good weather for your gardening adventures. xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-32579897236498340102016-04-17T19:54:55.130+01:002016-04-17T19:54:55.130+01:00Wonderful pictures!

I do sympathise. Lovely to see such spring-like bird activity. I find it amazing that they build their nests with just beaks - some of those nests are works of art.
