What a fantastic post, Fiona.

I don't really know where to start, so I'll start at the very beginning! 😁

You have, and not for the first time, blown me away with your enthusiasm for our little contest and once again proven the huge potential it has for inspiring good content and creating a buzz. You, 'get it!' and that, for me, has been one of the coolest things that has happened to us in the early stages of this thing. Yeah, we need the economics to keep it running but that was never why the idea came about in the first place. It was all about talking about stuff that you love and hearing other people's views on it. All from one very excitable conversation on the PHC general chat forum.

No TV until 1976! That's a statement right there. Definitely hard for our younger steemian friends to understand. Hell, it's not easy for me to comprehend and I was born in 73! It's cool how you can remember Yorkshire, the TV in the living room and wild that you never saw another TV for 8 years!

The wireless is something that I've only really used for two things. Music and sport. I used to sit next to my dad's music centre and record the songs that I wanted from the top 40 music charts on Radio 1. This was in the late 70s, early eighties. It was either that or listening to my beloved Bristol Rovers Football Club when they were traveling away and I could not go. I never really listened to any other stuff and that's a shame because I love The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I'm sure I would have enjoyed listening to that.

My daughter loves the Beatrix Potter stories. We took her up to Lake Windermere when she was younger and we visited the house and the museum. They hold a place in our hearts and I know Jaime feels the same.

I am a massive Silmarillion/The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings fan. I have read LOTR so many times that I have actually lost count. In fact I am due for another go! I first read it when I was 14 and not only did it kickstart my passion for fantasy and for Rings lore but started a passion for reading that I was lacking before hand. If you ever want to chat about any of this, I'd be excited to do so! 😁

Finally, your gesture to share your earnings on this post had me slightly choked up at one point! I sound like a bit of a wet flannel, but it's true. The Panel are so passionate and enthusiastic about this and we believe in it, so when somebody shows us the same kind of passion and enthusiasm as we do, It means an awful lot. Thank you. Thank you for your brilliant post and thank you for being excited about the @phctop3.
