Sorry to do your noodle in, but I like a good pun. And by good of course I mean terrible! You might think they’re pasta their sell by date, and even I cannoli take so many… Anyway, it seems the judges of Best magazine’s love story competition quite like them, as my high carb effort is the runner up. (I won more than a penne!)

If you fancy having a go at a writing competition, then visit my Womagwriter blog. I post about at least one free to enter contest every week.
