It was off to St Mary’s Junior School to present the winner of my Christmas Card competition with a certificate, some of the cards and some chocolates. The card I chose is absolutely lovely. I had set the title ‘Christmas at Alexandra Palace’ and Jemima Hammett (aged 10) had drawn the most beautiful representation of the Pally with Santa’s sleigh flying above it in the sky. So that was a very pleasant task of the day.

UPDATE: And here’s a picture of the winning card:
