Congratulations to all and what a cracker of a poem Catherine Lee-beautifully crafted and so deserving.
the door is always open, the kettles always on, my shoulders here to cry on, i'll not judge who's right or wrong.

Congratulations Catherine

Also to all the other winners; I tried the shotgun approach on this one, looks like I need to improve my aim a bit.

Cheers

Terry

However we (I am sure) will keep on trying :lol:
