So I chose the winner in the most scientific and advanced way possible...yes...folded up pieces of paper in my stripy knit hat (which I made myself!) And the winner is...
I believe that she wants the image used in the main contest post, with the Forres forest?
I took this photo while on my 30th birthday trip in August, 2008. The forest was a hop, skip and a jump down the road from my retreat B&B (Newbold House). I went on quite a few forest walks that week...mostly after dinner (which was made up of fresh produce from the hotel's gardens and worked by volunteers from all over the world). The Forest was gorgeous. So quiet and serene...and seemed to go on forever. The retreat week was fateful, too. All the quality "me" time resulted in the inspiration for this blog, participating in the Herbal Apprenticeship, buying the laptop which I am writing on (so I could blog/work from anywhere) and the seed for my dream of being involved with a place like Newbold House. Maybe I'll return some day to be one of the house and garden volunteers. :)
Thank you to everyone who entered to win and congratulations, Ella!!! It's a very special photo to me.
If anyone is still interested in a photo, I am going to start sending simple, postcard prints as a "thank you!" for donations in support of The Lion's Share.
