YOUNG artist Jessica Ford gave out some award-winning Christmas cards this year.

Langford Village School pupil Jessica, eight, right, was the proud winner of a design a Christmas card competition held by supermarket Tesco.

As part of the winning prize her design was made into a pack of cards for her to send to family and friends. Her design is also on display at the Pingle Drive store.

Mum Alex Ford, of Langford Village, Bicester, said: “Sue Evans from Tesco phoned me and said she had won and we kept that as a surprise from Jessica.

“We arranged to go into store and introduced Jessica to Sue who then told her she had won – a really pleasant surprise for her.”

Jessica said: “I love drawing and writing stories. When I saw the competition I really wanted to enter it. I was so happy when I was told I had won.”
