Happy New Year
Posted by Fiona Nevile in Cottage tales | 22 comments
I want 2010 to be full of laughter. So we’re celebrating the New Year with a competition. Anyone can enter and there’s no limit of the amount of entries per household. All you have to do is name the late arrivals to the Chef’s and Gardener’s Ball – do you remember this on ‘I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue?’
Play the clip above for some inspiration. The competition will close on Twelfth Night – January 6th 2010. And the winner will receive a battered paperback copy of The Nonsense Books of Edward Lear bought and signed by me in 1968. At 42 years old it’s alsmost an antique.
Happy new year everyone – let’s hope it’s a good one.

Thank you everyone who joined in this competition. I was really impressed with the high standard of all the entries and spent many happy hours giggling at them 🙂
