A competition winner is looking forward to getting her and her family some much-needed sun after a cold month.

Frances Teague: ‘Looking forward to getting a bit of sunshine and getting away from the winter’

Frances Teague, 48, will be jetting off to the Algarve in Portugal after winning The Cumberland News’ October Getaway competition.

Every week in October we offered readers the chance to win a pair of flights to a destination in Europe of their choice.

Mrs Teague, of Lismore Place, near Carlisle city centre, will be taking her husband Paul and three children to the sun-drenched holiday resort but says she didn’t think she would win.

She said: “It’s just a fantastic competition but winning was very unexpected.

“We’re looking forward to getting a bit of sunshine and getting away from the winter.

“It suits us down to the ground.”

There were three winners of the October Getaway competition and fellow winners Barbara Proud, from Frizington, and J Rodgers will be joining Mrs Teague in flying to destinations of their choice.

The winner of a competition to win flights to New York will be announced today, and readers will next week be able to win a share of £300 to spend at Tesco’s Metro store.
