    My daughter nagged me into entering photos in the photography section in the local flower show. I've never entered before but thought I'd submit some if only to support the event.
    There were four categories - 'a ruined building', 'photo of a grandchild', 'unusual vegetable' and 'moonlight scene'.
    My gob was well and truly smacked when I found I'd taken first prize in all four categories!
