Competition Theme Design Almost Done!

It’s been a hectic few days. We had a pleasant few days with our friends, and then it was back to porridge on Tuesday. However, I had quite a number of things to do, which has prevented me doing what I said I’d do…keep you up-to-date on the development of the theme.

The Grid for the Theme Competition
