Thank you so much - I'm really honoured! My husband loves Austria - he worked there during his university degree - and we try to return when we can. Your photos make me want to explore Vienna - can you believe I've never been? We always get stuck in Salzburg...

Apologies if I don't put the award on my blog straightaway. I'm frantically busy just now, but things should calm down in a couple of weeks.
