Competition Results...
Well, the deadline has now passed, and all the entries are in. We have excursions from:
Nihal – do go and check out her view across the rainswept Bosphorus, and her local shops in Istanbul
Mary – where we ponder whether playing ball hockey is permitted when playing ball and hockey is prohibited…
Louise who makes me want to move up to Scotland now, now, now.
Jessie who has me glad I’ve packed my bags to move to Scotland, but now has me dithering about whether I might prefer Vermont…
Becky who takes us for a trip round where she lives in Oman (it’s beautiful too, but I’m not so tempted to move there – toooooo hot for me!)
Erika with whom we run a few errands in La Conner WA
and last, and missing the deadline by a mere 13 hours, but certainly not least is Ruth with whom we potter round her part of London.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took part in this – there isn’t a huge number of us, but look at the totally different places we live in – all with their very own local flavours. But this was set up as a competition, and competitions need winners, so the winner is (very very long pause a la Strictly Come Dancing – what? You’re not watching? Oh you should, you really should – OK, you’re still waiting) – the winner is…
Becky.
Congratulations Becky – some yarny goodness will be heading your way. Please email me your address.

Oh – - Anne you have shamed me into taking some shots this weekend – do you mind if I post them on my blog and run my own comp like yours? Don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier – love looking at people’s lives….Donni () (link) - 01 November '06 - 22:38
Well, Anne, I am truly wretched, as this is the second prize this week that I didn’t win. I think I shall have to go shopping and get myself my own prize, yes, that’s it!I am delighted at all the different habitats of your readers!

This was a great idea. I hope that, despite the deadline having passed, more people will post their trips to the shops.Big Ruth () (link) - 02 November '06 - 10:52

Congrats to Becky. I was going to enter, but on the day I went out with my camera there’d been a big accident on the road (SUV upside down, five police cars etc etc, although no one was hurt) and it seemed a bit voyeuristic to be wandering around with a camera…Daisy () (link) - 03 November '06 - 11:59
What me – no really – me ? It just can’t be – I can’t believe it – really truely me ? Oh my goodness – I never win anything – well I’d like to thank my able assisant Jacob – who upped the cute factor in the phots and my lovely car the huge and unforgiving Dodge Durango – the lovely owners of the driving school at the end of the road whose area of rubble and barrels make the place just oh so picturesque – my husband without whom I would not be here and the Sultan who makes sure that Oman is a clean living place to be – Go Sultan Qaboos we love you !Really – thank you thank you I will e:mail you my address shortly.
