The Nose of Not Letting Go

The deadline for my Jack's Tractor HB give away has been and gone, and Higgins the dog has rootled for a winner in the Pink Hat of Fortune (not mine). My foreign correspondent and animal handler has just sent pictures and yes, I can confirm that -- despite Higgins' surprising lack of professionalism -- one name did stick to his snout more convincingly than the others. And so the winner is...


...fellow writer, Natalie Bahm.


Congratulations Natalie! And don't worry – Higgins hasn't slobbered on the book itself. Please send an address and anything you would like me to write in the book to *** at free.fr and I'll put your prize in the post this week sometime.

Who was it who said one should never work with children and animals? Oh well, at least no dogs were hurt in the winning of this book, though I doubt anyone will be wearing that hat again.

  6. Thanks everyone for participating. I'm glad there are so many tractor-loving youngsters out there with parents, aunts etc connected to this blog, so I'll hold another giveaway like this once I've received some paperback copies.

    Higgins adorable? Cute? Smart and clever? I'm not sure I see it myself...
