I saw that on TV last night and I wondered if it was you (I couldn't remember your last name)

Given the time of year most calendars are sold, I think one of the winter month pictures ought to have a better chance of being on the cover (the purpose of the vote), so good luck with that.

Well done, Dave

Very glad you've been able to make this announcement. A wonderful achievement. Didn't see the programme at the time of transmission, so am off to watch it now on the iPlayer.

Bernard, little lost on this one. Have a link I might access?

Jim

[Donald]

Bernard - Are you allowed to put a copy of the pic up here for folks to see, or has the BBC got some restrictive clause on it?

[Benjy]

Neville,Dave,Jim,thanks for comments much appreciated,Jim google BBC countryfile photo competition,might get you in....

[Donald]

I got to it via - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/arti...oting-by-phone. Bernard's image is the last one in the list.

For those not familiar, this calendar has been on the go for a number of years. Proceeds from sales go to BBC sponsored charity for children and young people. Sales of the 2014 calendar raised 1.4million GBP for the Children in Need charity.

Donald,not too sure,I spoke with researcher on the phone also two emails and each time she said not to post on social media or talk to the press,that was before 12 photos were announced,so still unsure,I had previously posted on here on 3rd December 2014 re Got that Christmassy feeling,thanks again for comments.
