I'm afraid that the lurgy I've been battling this month has swept back with a vengeance over the last few days. Therefore I've not voted as early as I'd hoped, and I'm sorry, but at the moment just don't have the energy to create a shortlist. Maybe over the weekend I can pay homage properly . . .

My vote went to Springs - I made the mistake of reading the first entry as it was submitted this month, and was humbled and defeated from the get-go! Although there are other really good entries, the story and the eye-catching formatting sealed the deal for me.

*Now off with my supermarket brand of hot, lemony drink with added anti cold & flu ingredients, and hoping for a good nights sleep and to feel human again soon*
