Double Green

Two things have happened today. We have been to the annual tourism conference for the region and, along with other businesses who have GTBS accreditation or are in the process, have been involved in a photo shoot. It was down at the Spa in Scarborough, but the photographer took us all outside so, because of the cold, blue would be a more appropriate colour than green!!

Don't know if anything will come of the shoot, but can't do any harm.

When we got home though we had a different surprise. We had an email from Green Business Tourism to say that we had been selected for "GTBS Best Performer Shortlist" should know result next month. We are very happy to be selected as there are over 2000 GTBS business in the country.

Valentine's weekend

We reopen today, what a day to pick - my (Stephen) birthday! Not too bad though, only one room today and a couple tomorrow. We still haven't opened up 9 & 10 as we need to finish them off with new furniture. It gives us a steady start to the year.

Colonoscopy

Those of you who know me will be aware that I (Stephen) had bowel cancer in 1997. I am one of the lucky ones and now only get checked up once a year and have a colonoscopy every 5 years - today's the day!! As expected I was "all clear", but it is nice to be told so.

Any of you out there with concerns on that front should visit Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign website. You can always phone them (or me) if you feel it would help.
