I HAVE WON AN AWARD!!!!!!!! YEAH USAAAA!!!!

I HAVE WON AN AWARD. Amongst all the bad stuff in my life, there is a light but because of a deadline over running for work, I wasn't there to receive it!! Aghhh.     It was a piece I wrote for the Richmond Magazine WONDER WALLS about my trip to California with my son Tom.   We missed out on the Olympics but Tom told me the Canyon, Yosemite, San Fran (especially Alcatraz), Death Valley and Vegas was sooo much better than watching the Spice Girls dance on mini coopers.    "Just think," he said as we watched the fountains outside the Belagio, hoping for a glimpse of Clooney, Pitt or 'my name is' Matt Damon -  "this is in the middle of a desert."  Thank you Visit USA. You have made my day. xxx
