I have never been very lucky in the world of competitions. Once I won a book which they never actually sent me and then I won tickets to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde park on the warmest, rainiest winter day ever so we didn’t go. So I was very very pleased to win a corker of a competition with apartfromtherest.com. They asked for people to submit a holiday photo to their facebook group so I submitted a photo of the best view I have ever seen. It was one of those views that really does just take your breath away and you just have to stand and stare.

If you get a chance, go to the Lofoten Islands in Arctic Norway. The light is amazing, although best go mid-summer for this kind of light. The light won’t be amazing at the moment as there probably is no light – except Northern lights of course – so go anytime. It’s amazing.

So I submitted this photo and I won this, an iPod touch. It’s not something I would have bought but is something that I think will enhance my life. I am enjoying exploring the world of apps and so far I like the spirit level, the bird song identifier and I particularly like the interactive Lonely Planet guides.

I don’t think it’s going to turn me into a gaming freak. I can’t seem to find any games I fancy (any recommendations?). One of the things I have most enjoyed about getting this iPod is designing and knitting a cover for it. I am thinking it might need one for each season.
