a winner and a star (in my eyes anyway)

I have the winner of the Vignette magazine

but while I have you here (captive) I'd like to tell you

about a winner in my family .

My beautiful daughter was invited

to sing at one of the local vineyards .

The vineyard was once a shearing shed

and still has the old floorboards and rustic charm .

Just another one of the many reasons

I love living in country Australia .

My daughter sang like an angel .

Besides the fact that I cannot hold a tune , really,

cats have run howling from my singing ,

I think it takes great courage to get up in

front of a crowd of people and speak

let alone sing .

Proud mother is a little understated for how I feel .

I think I've probably held you here long enough with

my family tale so here is the winner ......
