The winners!

Thanks to all who entered this giveaway. I hate it that everyone can't get a prize, I'd really love to be ordering 14 copies of the book to be sent to corners of the world.
And apologies for the delay in announcing the results - we had some unexpected visitors yesterday and today - a lovely surprise!

Back to results ... last time I had a giveaway, I used random.org, but I'm a fuddy duddy old-fashioned person, and when I saw this idea on a website, I knew this was my way to go...

here are all the names ready to go in the magic teapot,

lid on, and give it a little shake,

This is much prettier than random.org!

Then draw out the first winner...

First out was Zuzana, whose blog Life Through reflections has beautiful words and photos, from Denmark.

followed by Amy from The Green Bathtub,

Amy blogs from Smalltown, USA.

And blogger seems to have a mind of its own tonight, and has spread this post out more than I intended, so if you've a sore finger from scrolling, I'm sorry about that too.

Now I have to organise myself and get those books ordered.

Giveaway Reminder

Just a little reminder that my GIVEAWAY closes at noon Irish time on Thursday.

I'm so looking forward to the two winners getting their books!



And to while away the time, may I introduce you to one of my favourite hobbies, when I have time on my hands, which isn't very often - cloudwatching
.

Christopher Reeve once commented on how you could find endless entertainment from clouds, and I too find endless entertainment just watching them float along, beautiful and fluffy and light, and not a care in the world, and when I watch them, some of that carefree feeling washes over me too.

I deliberately included the lamp posts in the corners, to kind of anchor the picture, not sure if it works or interferes.
