Truly global
I came back from holiday at the weekend to find plenty of excellent entries for our August competition.The entries showed how global we have become with stories from St Vincent and the Grenadines in the West Indies (a first for us), the United States (which pleases us since it is a country that has been under-represented so far), Cyprus (we think this is another first for us), New Zealand, Canada, France, Ireland and the UK, including one or two from the North-East, where we are based.
It is a delight to receive each and every one of your stories and yet again there is some cracking writing.
Now that we are edging past the holiday season, things should be getting back to normal and we hope to announce the July winners soon.
Still the best part of a week to go if you want to try your hand in the August competition as well.
