Well done Jake and Greg. Thanks to both of you for entering, it's great to see some 'new' faces in the Gallery.

So, could you two fire up your imaginations and let me have the theme for the next Gallery by 29th September, please? You can either let me have one each and I'll choose, or put your heads together and let me have one from the pair of you.

I know its a few hours earlier than I said, but with a truly magnificent 52% of the vote, I can't believe that anyone else can come close and I therefore declare Lonsdaler to be the worthy winner of the December 2025 Gallery.

Well done Phil. Now you have the dubious honour of having to think of the theme for the next one, so if you could tear yourself away from the festivities sometime over the next week or so, and drop me a PM please?

Well done Andy, and as a reward ( Penance?) now you have to think up the next theme!
Drop me a PM in the next week or so please.

Very well earned - though I'll admit I completely forgot to vote again.

[Peter Butler]

Thanks for the kind words Aaron. Not voting might have worked out in my favour?

Guys, my most abject apologies, I completely forgot that I hadn't announced the winner of the Sept gallery.
Looking at the voting it is clearly Lonsdaler with his lovely 'little grey Fergie' tractor load. Well done Phil.

Now I just need you to PM me your suggestion for the next theme please.

Once again, my apologies.

[Peter Butler]

Well done to Lonsdaler and all who participated in my 'What a load of...' images. Lots of inspiration there for others to use.

Thank you, Peter,
And I totally agree. I was surprised to see that Fergie won given that she's not that popular at the moment.
