I was pleased that Peter Black won the award for the Best Blog by a Lib Dem elected to public office - I've enjoyed his punchy reports from Senedd and Cardiff Bay.

But Alix Mortimer was the star of the evening, going home with three awards, including Blogger of the Year. I was one of many people who nominated her - her writing is always entertaining, surprising and very perceptive. Well done, Alix!

Another new blogger who deservedly won an award, was Ros Scott on Because Baronesses are people too, although her award was for her online campaign to be elected as President of the party.

It was only a year ago that I was asking where all the female Lib Dem bloggers were - and here we are, with four of the five awards to Lib Dems given this year to women.

Millennium Elephant has some good photos, even though he sadly didn't win anything again. Maybe he should change sex - can't be that difficult for a cuddly toy.
