Congratulations also goes out to the other winners:

    If I ever get a picture of Patrick in an armchair wearing a velvet smoking jacket and a self satisfied expression, I will surely post it, as that would be the purpose of the get-up in the first place. Please do not send pictures of vulgarly shaped vegetables. We harvest enough of those ourselves.

    Congratulations Patrick!

    I’m also asking around re suitable (cheap) venues in and around Oxford for September’s get together.

    Well done Patrick! Your vegetable information posts certainly are great. Hope I will get to see the real deal next year, if you don’t think I am too irritating by then! I am not so bad face-to-face, you know :)

    What’s it like being a celeb!

    Hi Patrick – I’ve written a suitably bad poem to celebrate our success

    congrats! You should have many awards.

    Thanks Kathy!

    While clearly some awards are more important than others, I always appreciate the ways people tell me I have a nice blog. Either by making nice comments like the one you left here, or by nominating and voting for me for awards.

    I always appreciate this kind of feedback from everyone.

    Writing something other people find interesting and get pleasure from is the whole reason I have this blog! It’s always nice to know other people care about it too.
