I’m gonna be famous !!! Well, nearly…
Murielle entered a picture of me she took in August in the Surfing photo-shoot in the “Picture Jersey competition” organized by Luxury Hotels, Jersey Evening Post and sponsored by Jersey Post. She was not expecting anything to come out of it but about 3 weeks ago she got an email telling her that I was one of the 10 runners up selected for the Jersey Evening Post readers choice.
Boy the competition was tough ! 9 lovely pictures were lined up against me, but at the end, my good looks and sparkling bodywork won (Murielle, spoil sport as she is keeps reminding me it was only by 1 vote). I don’t care ! I WON, I WON, I WON!!!
This means that my human got herself a stay for 2 at the Hotel Horizon in St Brelade bay. But best of all, I get to have MY picture turned into a post card that will be available to guests staying at the top 5 hotels in Jersey as part of a welcome pack. And, of course, I will vicariously get to travel all over world for the cost of a stamp on my backside ! Awesome… I’m gonna travel, without getting dirty, and most of all without my human and get all round the world….
Shall I insist on a new garage to keep me clean and pristine? a heated one perhaps? One that will not be as windy as my current tent and not let any dust everywhere? Do you think Murielle will oblige?
The Jersey Evening Post photographer took a picture of Murielle holding a big version of the postcard, so I’ll guess my picture will be in the newspaper.
I have also been told that I was on local television news channel tonight. Murielle didn’t see it as she was at the prize winning reception, but she was told by lots of friend that I was on the news… Thank you Hilly for sending the link to Murielle …( It’s towards the end of the clip, about 26 minutes onward, if you want to bypass the rest of the news)
