...better than being pegged out in the burning sun over a red ants nest and covered in honey, as my old granny didn't used to say.
Sorry about this, but all these comps I entered as a teenager and forgot about are announcing results at the same time.

'The ways of the country' has been awarded a certificate of Distiction & Merit at the Mere Literary Festival.

Or was that a mere certificate at the Festival of Distinction & Literary Merit?

Look 'ere, Sion, just how many prizes are you NOT going to win?
You'll have to get writing, all your stories have been recognised now.

Congrats for being merely a literary prize whatnot!

Elspethx

Congrats Sion, do you get a badge for your shorts, or just a certificate for your bedroom wall ?

Adele.

Thanks Elspeth. I gave my mother's address (in the Uk), so she got the letter. She tells me that she might drive over for the award ceremony, so I do hope it is a certificate and not just something for my pants, Adele.
