Gold Winner Scoot Headline Award

Something new to put on the wall in the downstairs lavatory - my 'Certificate of Achievement' for winning a Scoot Headline Award arrived in the post today.

Considering that, as far as I know, Scoot has never sent me a guest, nor inspected my premises, I am slightly at a loss as to what I have won for.

And I received a letter from them, a couple of days ago, informing me that the plastic plinths that the certificates were originally presented in kept breaking in the post, so they were sure we would understand why our certificates were now being sent out just in paper form.  Hmmmmmm. And who is the 'actress, Ebony Feare' who presented the awards at a ceremony in London? As you, a loyal follower, are already aware, I don't know anything or anyone, so she's probably really famous, but I've never heard of her.

Meanwhile, a few days ago, Four in a Bed's delightful Jane drove down and interviewed me on camera at length .  She was like an instant friend.  The most dangerous kind! I trusted her absolutely and told her all sorts of things that I shouldn't have, I am sure.  She feigned such interest in me and my B&B that I fed into her hand and downloaded endless monologues such that I was boring myself, let alone her, let alone her bosses, by the time she turned that camera off!

So will we be on it? I have no idea.  Jane's footage was delivered to her bosses, and they had their summit meeting last Friday.  After that, it is down to working out who looks good, and whose locations and available dates fit in with everyone else's.

Having watched another old episode last night, in which there was a posh lady with an immaculate home in Nottingham or somewhere, I yet again feel massively inadequate.  If they film me, I am going to be so incredibly nailed for my plumbing it doesn't bear thinking about.  Of which more, anon.
