TWO budding writers from the region are celebrating success in a national writing competition.
Barbara Welford, of Scaling, near Saltburn, east Cleveland, won the Farmers Weekly Frater Memorial writing contest, based on a theme of Dream On, while Freda Phalp of Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, was a runner-up.
Mrs Welford won £300 for her story about achieving her dream of turning a waterlogged meadow into a pond, while Mrs Phalp, who was awarded £50, wrote about the dreams she had as a child compared with the reality of adult life.
Both stories will be published in the latest issue of the magazine, which is out today
