- January 1974, Cambridge Evening News, first prize ‘Give Santa a sparkle’ competition. ‘The judges blinked in surprise when they opened the entry of Mrs Nettina [my birth name] Bone, of 18 Harbour Avenue, Comberton. Even the optimists among us didn’t expect to find a piece of newsprint transformed in quite such an imaginative way. As far as we can determine, Mrs Bone used poster paints [no—water colour!] and she did so to great effect. It made one realise how much more pleasant Great St Mary’s Church, Cambridge would be in a rural setting rather than surrounded by iron railings, street furniture and traffic. Mrs Bone was a clear winner in the over-21 section and it was her attention to detail and an exciting sky which impressed artist Bill Nunney, who drew the original outline. Father Christmas and his four-legged companion came to life and the judges particularly liked the delicate introduction of snow…not too little, not too much.’
