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

Must download these! Have been remiss and not done it yet. x

Enjoyed writing this, and coming back to it after a week away, thought Kate’s was a very worthy winner among a host of fab entries!

Well done Kate – a deserved win 🙂 And yep Sandra you interpreted mine correctly.

Congratulations, Kate! And nice job, Sandra 🙂

Great result @Sandra thanks for hosting a super theme and those comments for all – marvelous.

Well done all and @Kate perfection with your prose and your take on the theme.

Absolutely brilliant competition, and what a crop of entries. Well done Kate – superb bit of prose – and the honourables. Looking forward to this month’s!

Congratulations, Kate, John and Seagreen. And thank you, Sandra, for an excellent competition that compelled me to return to entering. I didn’t envy your task of decision making.

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.

Congratulations Kate!

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

Gosh, Sandra, you posted your verdict at 4 am! I hope you’re catching up on sleep today. Thanks for an excellent comp theme, which elicited a host of cracking entries.

Congrats to Kate on a worthy win, and to John and Seagreen for their honourable mentions.
