Jenny Many thanks for the Christmas Spectacular. It reminded me of Christmases from years gone by and I think that Tom Lubbock would have been wryly amused to see that his competition sprouted wings and rose from the ashes.

It was a pleasure! It is really fun to do now that I have mastered editing pictures.
So, will the Details competition remain, now that the Independent is to be purely online? Or was this season's omission the shape of things to come? Jenny
