A Huge, Mahooooosive Surprise From Our Beloved No. 1 Fan, Jan The Fan, Rylan - Ten

Yesterday, Nigel started to stand guard at the window and front door from 8.00  after we received a message from our beloved No. 1 Fan, Jan the Fan, saying that she had sent us a slightly unusual but pertinent to “recent events ”……… surprise present.

Thank goodness that she also sent another message at around 9.30 letting us know that said parcel was due to be delivered between 3.30 and 4.30 ……..

……. otherwise I strongly suspect that Nigel would have either burst with anticipation and collapsed with exhaustion waiting for the Amazon Man.

And when it finally arrived the Towers was filled with an air of silent expectation and suspense, what on earth could Jan the Fan have sent us?

OMG, it was only Rylan’s autobiography, “Ten The Decade That Changed My Future” which she had told us she had greatly enjoyed.

WE ABSOLUTEY LOVE RYLAN.  Hugh, Darrell’s best friend and Mentor of all things of a showbiz type nature has long told us how lovely and down to earth in real life the 6ft 4ins Rylan is ……. and the pertinacity was all explained in her note, as there is a whole section in the book devoted to Rylan’s own love for our most favourite televisual event of the year.

Let’s just say it was erm …….. emotional, very emotional, very, very, emotional.  What are we like?

Now, obviously we all wanted to be the one to read it first, but then Darrell offered to do a “Book at Bedtime” reading a chapter a night to Nigel and I as we snuggled down and sipped on our Horlicks.

We’ve never written a “proper professional” Mariella Frostbite Frostrup book review before, and we’re not promising we will,  but we’ll certainly let you know how we get on when Darrell has completed his marathon.

Thank you sooooooo much Jan The Fan. What can we say but a very huge, mahooooosive THANK YOU!
