smile! we have a winner

But before we get down to the business, let's have a little look at a post-deadline submission from alyssa:

Thanks alyssa - that's certainly brought a smile to my face on a Friday morning.

Back to the matter in hand, though (no pun intended): and let's do this in style. So I've brought out my best Panama for perhaps its last airing this year and tinkered around a bit with my best Bodoni.

Folded the numbers into quarters so they can't be seen.

Into the hat and give them a good shake.

And voilà (a nod to Loïc there)...

...the winner is Mike with his homage to our friends across the water.

Well done Mike, and congratulations! Your Eurostar tickets will be winging their way to you (sort of) even as I type.

So, that was fun wasn't it? And a big, big thanks to Sarah and the crew at we are social and, of course, Eurostar for donating the prize.

I am childishly excited - thanks so much, David. I don't think I'ever won anything like this ever.

Now all I need is a babysitter. Anyone?

Bless you and your marvellous hat.

Congratulations Mike!

That was simply brilliant David. Thanks for making me and a whole load of others smile with this idea.
