One crown gained – another lost


When we arrived at The Bruce Arms in Masham it was Steak Night. Two steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of wine for a bargain price. After weaving our way home, Andrew opened another bottle and I was just about to take a slurp when I missed my mouth and hit my front teeth with the glass and knocked off a porcelain crown which hit the terracotta tiles in the kitchen and shattered like a Ming vase. “Oh crikey, we have got Telly again tomorrow” were my last words that night.


Four bookings a minute


The following morning the news of our award was announced to the world at 05.00 hours UK time. The first booking came in at 05.09, and after BBC Radio 2’s Chris Evans began telling everyone to book Millgate B&B the bookings were coming in at the rate of four a minute. We had BBC Radio York broadcasting live from 6 am from our home.
