I have meetings in Dumfries tomorrow which means an overnight in a local hotel.
Yes, that is an orange duvet cover. It coordinates perfectly with this part of the hotel. "Walk through the first floor until you reach the corridor with the orange wallpaper", were the instructions I was given at reception. Clearly a decision was made not to restrict the theme to the communal areas.
After travelling for 6 hours it was all I could do to stop myself from crawling under the duvet but I was fearful it might trigger an in-utero flashback so instead I headed to the bar ... where I discovered they were having a Scottish music night. "He's not as a good as he used to be", the barman whispered to me; I ordered a G&T to go.
I was back in the room. Again. But what this Dumfries hotel lacked in sartorial elegance and live entertainment was easily forgiven when I spotted the following words in the hotel guide:
Free in-room WiFi.
Did I scoff at the orange colour scheme? Love it! There's free in-room WiFi.
Scottish singer not on top of his game? He was great. Free in-room WiFi.
I risked unleashing my pre-birth subconscious, got into bed, fired up the iPad and settled down to watch Top of the Lake with my G&T to hand.
I love this hotel.*
