  • that's fantastic - well done!! I have to ask though...are you from the Dorset area? I always wonder if these regional competitions are really just for locals, or if others win too....would be interesting to know, to see if it's worth entering them

    edit----mmmjust saw you are in Birmingham lol!! So I guess that answers it! Great news!
