Hear! Hear! Congratulations to the Vic trophy-ists. Lively and fun reading the creative scenarios about VI’s doings. Great too to see a sample of just how much VI lives in many of our hearts.

By the way, my mum did enjoy the book very much and several others of yours which she read – she says they’re very exciting. I rang one day and was told “She’s (V.I.) breaking into a bulding!”. She joked about not liking the rats in Tunnel Vision! She’s already claimed a read of ‘Hardball’ after me.

I hope Geraldine Graham is still going as well – I gave ‘Blacklist’ to my 90 year old mother as I thought she would relate.

I’m very happy to win and I’m really looking forward to reading ‘Hardball’ and wearing my t-shirt! Sorry I caused the Windsors to haunt your dreams though – it occurs to me as perhaps strange now, but lucky, that I never dream about them. I probably think about (getting rid of) them too much when I’m conscious. You’re right though, he would run from Diana. He’s recently also suggested he may have inherited traits (of architectural taste) from Henry the Eighth! Yes, the murderous tyrant who killed some of his wives as well as lots of other people. Great ancestor to choose eh? *Man claiming to be from Uncle tries to wash dirty genes in public*!

YAY! Thank you Sara, I was thrilled to have my poem considered and classed good enough as a runner-up. I’m a little concerned about your dream however, I wouldn’t dare fall asleep again after that!!

That is hilarious! I hardly ever dream but when I do I’m usually exhausted in the morning…what does that say?

My heartiest congratulations to Marjory and the Bag Lady! Well deserved!
