Thank you hellish one - and thank you also to everyone who voted, regardless of who you voted for!
My thanks have to go at least initially to CC who selected which picture I should enter. Off to tell him in a moment that he did a good job of it! (And yes, in case anyone wondered, we are still the bestest of friends - maybe ever closer in some ways.)
As Q said last month when he won the writers competition - it does feel good but what is even more encouraging is the feedback one gets by posting here. So a personal plea - if you like reading the stories which someone posts - tell them so; if you like looking at the pictures someone posts - tell them so. It does not have to be a detailed critique, just a I really enjoyed reading that, it took me out of where I was at that moment - or something like that. Is quite and easy - and - well it will encouarge the person to post again so you get to read or see more!
Hugs to all the lovely people on this site,
