And here are the photos... (#1 - the award ceremony)

I know you know I won 3rd Place, so I won't mention that, I'll just get on with the photos.

We're on our way!

On camera for my BBC Spotlight interview

Back to the hotel to get changed

Waiting for the announcements to start

Receiving my award!!

Me with Erin Soros (2nd Place) and Danny Murphy (1st Place)

The room, so many people

It's all over, just about to leave

Breakfast, the morning after
Here's the link to my sightseeing photos, from the following day.

      Thanks Alex. I enjoyed it in the end, a bit nervous to start with though. I like my comfort zone far too much :-)

    I am so proud of you!!!! I have goose bumps. I'm gonna cash in on all the dirt I know about you (which is none, but I am creative) to the tabloids as soon as you're famous. This writing gig will make me rich one way or another!

    I like your dress! It's really pretty. And congratulations! I would've felt so nervous being interviewed, especially for the BBC, but you look like you handled it really well!

      Everyone has said I looked so calm, but actually I was so nervous. I'm surprised it didn't show. I watched the interview last night, and couldn't remember being asked any of the questions!

    Congratulations! That's so amazing. I don't know how you did all of that. I would have been hiding under the nearest table for sure.

      I felt like hiding, but the tables were too tall :-) I can't believe I did it either - but I'm so glad I did, it's been really positive and I've had so many lovely comments from people.

      It was definitely an experience I want to repeat. Just need to write more short stories, and books... A nice Costa Book Award would be perfect :-)
