I didn't expect any of us to win this week. The Competition was to provide an extract from the Spectator a hundred years from now. But the great Bill Greenwell won money. Of course he did. And I was IN his winning entry, or at least my direct descendant. There's glory for you!
This week's offering looks much more promising. I shall definitely try to enter it.
