Contest
How would you like to win yourself a vegetable growing pack worth £20 by entering our prize giveaway.
Over the last month we have published 14 clues which join together in numerical order (1-14) and make a sentence.
No matter how bizzare it might seem, just say what you see.
On to the prizes...
1stThe first prize will be an 'Our Good Life' vegetable growing hamper worth well over £20. It will include useful tools, seeds and invaluable equipment. It will be sent by first class recorded delivery.
2nd
Second prize will be three packets of seeds.
How to enter
It is so simple to enter. All you have to do is solve the simple puzzle, the puzzle is based on the story of the Dragonfly Maze at Bourton on the Water. It took us about half an hour to get out of the maze, but you won't have to naviagate around a maze in our contest. At regular intervals we released a clue to help you solve the puzzle. Each post had 1 picture in it, and if you think logically about what the picture shows then you will be able to determine a word that will fit in to the sentence. There are 14 clues. You can view all of the clues by scrolling through the blog, or click the CONTEST tag at the bottom of this post or on the right sidebar.
Let's just remind ourselves of the scenario..
Scenario
A long, long time a go an old weaver lived in the mill at Bourton on the Water. You could say she was a peasant, but she had something that was the envy of the rich. The golden dragonfly which she wore around her neck. The golden dragonfly was stolen one day when the weaver had left home to collect a loaf of bread and it has been kept in the round house by the evil goblin ever since. There is high security in the round house, so you will need to crack the code to locate the golden dragonfly. It won't be easy!
Simply write down what each picture shows to reveal a sentence.
Then just email it to me by 15th August to stand a chance of winning the prize!
Any questions then please feel free to ask.
One entry per person.
Email your entry to blythm@aston.ac.uk
