Giveaway winner, and some gratuitous garden photos

Well, my giveaway of the cookbook After Dinner Mints for Breakfast was a staggering success. I am overwhelmed that only 8 of you, yes, that's right - 8 people entered!! Maybe everyone is all giveawayed out at the moment, there are a lot around on other blogs at the moment. I also can't pretend that I promoted it terribly heavily. So that meant that if you did indeed enter, you had a very high chance of success. I used random number generator, and it picked comment number 1 - Faux Fuchsia. Now, I did decide to bend my rules somewhat - Faux Fuchsia and Janelle are not actually followers, however they comment all the time and have my blog on their blogrolls, so I figured it didn't matter a huge amount.



Faux Fuchsia, I think you'll have a great time with this cookbook - knowing your love of cooking it's definitely going to a deserving home.









Now, I'm going to pad out this tiny blog post with a few gratuitous shots of my garden.

School finishes for the year tomorrow at lunchtime. I'm hoping I'll be back tomorrow night with a before and after, but I'm not promising!
