Have just discovered that I've won Enigmatic Variations at what I think was only the second time I'd completed it and entered. A special thank you to Crofter for hints and advice re. E.V over the last few weeks.
One son is still here, Jools. We're going to spend the next four days exploring the next region up, the alentejo, so will celebrate along the way. And yes, Garner, it does feel very exciting.
Hi Crofter, Just to say that there must be a certain satisfaction in being the 'kingmaker' or 'queenmaker' - both applicable in my case, as my surname is 'King'. Nevertheless I'm sure you're right and your time will come - and that will be an even greater satisfaction.
Congratulations. I know that one is a toughie so well done Your Majesty.
PS. What chance do wwe have on the MM links with such a brain choosing the words?
It's a Telegraph Fountain Pen and a �15.00 book token. Congratulations to Slaney, too, for her win at the same monster. Believe me I've abandoned far more of them than I've completed - but I'm beginning to get into the mind of one or two of the compilers. Usually, if I finish at all, it's too late to send it off.
