I'm a Winner

Yesterday I found out that I had won a Book from fellow Blogger Ian via his excellent site The Blog with No Name. If you haven't visited Ian's site yet then I urge you to swing by an have a look.

The book - Crete: The Battle and the Resistance by Antony Beevor - is apparently winging its way to me now and I'm looking forward to reading it. The battle for Crete is a period of WWII that of course I know but actually have read relatively little about. Anyway this is just a big shout out to Ian to say thanks for the book and thanks for the opportunity to win it.

I may have to do something similar myself - some sort of prize competition - as the joy of receiving a freebie in the post is definitely a feeling I'd like to share. Let me think about it and I'll post more at a later date when I've figured out what to offer as a prize.

  2. Yes enjoy, the idea came from the wife, she has a cross stitch blog and it is very much the normal in that type of blog, they call them giveaways. Oh and I don't think you can give away Fran or Ray, just sayin'

    1. I've tried but nobody would have them. Something about them being 'soiled' goods....

  6. Congrats! Seing that you're considering giving away freebies, I'd suggest some Forge World scenery pieces, they look great but are a bit on the expensive side!

  7. Well done Lee! I'm sure I've read a book about D-Day by this author ... I'll have to try and dig it out.
