Description:
Where do you go when you're having a bad day and need a break - why your Happy Place, of course! My personal happy place is Trunk Bay on the island of St.John in the Caribbean. Imagining the powdery sand between my toes never fails to get me past a tough moment. It just goes to show how important a setting can be, and that is what this contest is all about. Describe the setting of your happy place, so well that we can see, feel, hear and smell that place. You may describe how or why this place makes you feel a certain way, but the emphasis must be on the description of the setting!

Many thanks to all who entered! We enjoyed going to each and every happy place.

Results are in. Congratulations to the winners!
