Just a quick Blog to say that I heard from British Airways yesterday that I was a winner in their Great Britons Award. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted for me, I can not begin to tell you how touched I am. Thanks too for all of your emails and messages of support - at one point, my PC crashed under the volume of emails.  Because the original email snowballed (I guess you call it viral marketing), I had people voting in America, New Zealand, Japan and even Ecuador.

Obviously Tim & Elaine are delighted that they will be able to fly out to meet me when we arrive in the Caribbean.  It's certainly helped the financial burden.  Thanks to BA as well for running the competition and shortlisting me.

Sorry I have not been able to email each of you individually but there is a free pina colada waiting for you all on the Beach Bar in Tortola - to be collected on 27th December 2009.

Thank you.
