Nice surprise in the post today!
« on: January 11, 2008, 09:17:29 »
I have won a crossword competition in my local paper! The prize is goodies from Betty's and Taylor's of Harrogate- don't know what yet, but bound to be yummy!
Excuse my excitement, but I've never won a competetion before! :D

Well done Caroline. I don't know Betty's but it sounds yummy.


Can I just add, I won some seaweed extract stuff last month from
*Grow Your Own Mag*  ;D. Not quite as yummy for me, but I bet my plants will think so  ;)

I won a couple of prizes from Gardening.co.uk last year, for forum contributions.
It's nice to be appreciated! :)

Well done Caroline! Delighted for you. Funnily enough I keep some of my seed packets in Yorkshire tea tins and, although it's not what I normally buy, I think it was very nice.
