In the great tradition of the "What is it?" quizzes, I had planned on giving livestock as first prize. Alas, however, the prize escaped on his little motorbike.

So in the absence of the naughty little run-away piggy, kindly accept this beautiful glittering rose as your prize, Paul! (What, me camp? Never!)
