First place Kate Gordon
Poetic Harry is so
hairy he has no friends until one day a bird decided to make a nest in his
hair. The bird is so pleased that Harry
has provided a perfect nesting spot and protect her fledglings that she decides
make it an annual occurrence.
Second place John Hughes
Patrick the Penguin got some new glasses an read books about
being a pilot, but poor eyesight and no hand was a challenge. Towards the end
of a 500 metre penguin swimming race a whale threatened, but Patrick’s new
magic goggles enabled him pilot the plane on a fish finger bombing raid to ward
off the marauding whale
Third place
Sandra McGruther
The scatterbrained wizard had lost his wand, glasses and
spell book. The reflection of his wand in the local pond led to a soaking, but
also enabled him to find his glasses on his forehead. Now he could find his
spell book and magic up a well earned pie for his dinner. Unfortunately, his
eating utensils were now missing.

Theme - A
Renfrewshire Ramble Judged by Brian
Whittingham
First place Hilary Stevenson
A choice of dour Scots words described a uncomfortable walk
in a harsh and drab terrain. The weary walker was glad when it was all over.
Second place Morag Moffat
Third place Kate Gordon
A sun soaked ramble many years ago when a piper played,
children skipped and the previous poor weather was cast away like a set of old
clothes.
Highly Commended
Kate Gordon.
A myopic rambler observes vegetation and wildlife which send
the thoughts elsewhere. A miss-observed
cyclist mending a puncture turns out to be a drooping flower.

Almost all edible seasonable goodies other than mince pies
were used to wash down Wilma’s ever more challenging annual Christmas Quiz.
Jack was thrilled to correctly guess the answer to his
Christmas cracker joke.
Q. “Why
can you tell that a ghost is telling lies?”
A. “Because
you can see right through him.”
