I am most humbled to be honoured by HM the Q for awarding me the Membership of Broadminded Enterpreneurs. In acknowledgement of this, I am now flashing red at the mainland as I am flushed with excitement. All other awardees congratulations, and don't forget the ceremony in the Cremola Suite. Dress code will follow from Lord CalumAnnabel of Dell Fank.

Hearty congratulations to all honoured friends. I’m overjoyed at this unexpected recognition. Nothing for Agnes Anne Morrison then? (Bisom) See that Bruce Forsyth got a gong for ‘Strictly Come Fanking’ and that Tom Jones got something as well. About time too. His enduring love song for Isla Mackay from North Dell has certainly stood the test of time. “My, my, my Dell Isla dooby dooby dooby doo, etc.’ Those dreadful ‘Changing Rooms’ people won’t be involved in the decorations will they? Scatter cushions and MDF storage units are so not a good look for the converstaion pit at the fank. Happy New Year to all. You can still call me Annie.

Thank you for your comments regarding finding a date for Trevor. How do I download the registration documents for the dating extravaganza? Are they in PDF format? If I send him via parcel force will somebody collect him at the ferry? I did indeed try to flog him on ebay, but I recieved an email from ebay asking me to remove the ad, as 1. they are not allowed to sell livestock and 2. They had begun recieving complaints about offensive material being advertised for sale. By the way - how did you know he wore Lybro denims?

Deeply honoured, looking forward to the Cremola Suite.

Cheers Betty! And congratulations to all honoured bloggers, will be proud to be rubbing shoulders with you all. We are all going to have to put our best hoof forward if HM's coming to give us gongs. I thought I might take Bettys' lead regarding grooming. If you remember she sported a rather dashing hat trimmed with pheasant feathers at he opening of the Scottish parliament? I can go one better, the peacocks over Pirnmill way haven't been culled for as long as I can remember and must need thinning out, easy done with a bit of creative driving (they lie on the road a lot), will make a stunning trim to my best pinny!

I picked up a lovely cardboard hat at the Western Isles Hospital last year when Auntie Morag was in for a bilious attack. I found it next to her bed and meant to take it to the lost property but then I realised that there were a few more like it and no-one was bothering with them so I kept it. There were a couple of styles - cowboy and bowler. I went for the bowler as it fitted better in my Co-op bag. I thought of brightening it up with a sprig of heather and an eel-skin band. Do you think this would do? Sunny's setting such high standards.

Well....I don't know what to say, my delight is overflowing. I never ever thought I would find an opperchansity for a new outfit, but here's me needing a new hat. I wonder has anyone got contact details for shell, ex of big bruvver, I think some fancy wellies may be in order too.Obviously Lizzie intends to drop into the Fank on her way past during the cruise on yon big boat she has rented for her birthday. I'm just wondering if she could maybe give me and the hot house a tow, they could either pick me up in Carradale or I could paddle out at low tide on the Devar causeway. If not I was wondering if sunny could oblige. Ive aquired a raft which was discarded following the Campbeltown Raft race last JUly.I can paddle accross from Penniver, as I need to go to the community hall there to collect jam before the event anyway I'm just wondering is Lizzie will bring Ando with her. Annie and him could make a loverly couple dont you all think.

I am truly impresses by Annies' creativity. I believe the hospital throws away those sexy backless gowns after one wearing too! Maybe you can pick one up next time you're visiting? As the standard has been rising so high I'm spending my evenings sticking sequins to my steel toe caps and one of the lumber jacks has promised me a loan if her tartan padded shirt! I thought I might add a fur trim but there are no foxes on Arran and the mink are hard to come by since they've stepped up the extermination efforts. However there is always a high roadkill haul of red squirrel and otters so I'm pretty sure I'll have enough to really turn heads by the time of the fank. Between all that and I've started knitting some extremely risque foundation garments with legs that stop mid calf and my peacock feather pinny I'm almost sorted. If I can persuade one of the badgers to balance on my viking helmet then a trip to campbeltown for a hat will be null and void but we will be happy to pick GrannyE up on the way past. Although she will be putting us to shame with her posh shop bought fasions!
