Just about to lose my data connection before surrendering to the joys of wifi at sea. No inspiration here yet. The pain chocolat is good though.

Absolutely stunning story – one of my favourites. Congratulations! Really well deserved.

Congratulations, Squidge. That was a great story 😊

Fabulous news. Congratulations. I loved that story.

Thanks, @Squidge. Hope you enjoy them 😊

Congratulations, Squidge. Thinking about your story still makes me shiver.

Thanks, Sandra. I wasn’t expecting that! A really fantastic prompt and so many great entries. Bear with me on coming up with something for next month as I’m helping my mother move house today.

Really enjoyed this one and it certainly got the words flowing. Congratulations to Kate and to the honourable mentionees! And very well done Sandra.

Great competition Sandra! Congratulations to all the entrants! I’m looking forward to the next one.
