Only a week till entries close so I am giving my usual nudge.
Food & Drink, a widest of topics so it would be good to see some more entries........if all else fails just take a picture of the Sunday roast.

Due to us having no internet for a week I was unable to start the voting process. I think we should rename this photo competition to Jan/Feb 2011 and keep it open for uploading photos.
Uploading will now end midnight 24th Feb 2011, voting will then start and end midnight 28th Feb 2011

Things have been somewhat overshadowed by other events of late; probably the understatement of the week.
Makes sense Keefy.

And the winning picture was terrific.

Thanks all,
Fran I seem to remember it was from the rooftop in snack time, was a few years ago when we were living there.
Ok I've had a think but if some has a better idea I'm happy for you not to go with mine.
Originally I was thinking after recent events something positive relating to the revolution would be good but then I realise this would limit the entries to Egypt and your wanting to broaden it out sooooo, being as it's st David's day today and I always see that as 'spring has sprung', and spring being symbolic of new growth and life I thought go with .....
' Spring 2011 - New beginnings'
This gives a bit of room for interpretation could be anything from a new born lamb, fresh snowdrops or a photo relating to a new Egypt. What do you think?
