Netmums Work from Home Award
About a month and a half ago, I received my weekly newsletter from Netmums. There was an article inviting any and everyone to apply for the Netmums Work from Home Award, part of the Remote Worker Award. You had the opportunity to win a home-based business, a Spa package, training from a Life Coach, professional CV writing, a PR consultation and to be in the running for the Vivid Green Award which provides the winner with a high-comfort, low-energy home office. Sounded like a good plan to me!
I spent a good while filling in all the necessary fields and writing about myself and my goals and my strengths and why I thought I should be awarded this prize. It was a good writing exercise for me. I clicked SEND and off it went. About 2 weeks ago I had an email from the Director of Remote Employment, inviting me to apply for some additional awards (there were others who were invited…not just me mind you) and informing me that we would be notified if we were shortlisted for the awards.
Guess who got an email today? That’s right…little old me! I’m on the SHORTLIST!!! And guess where we find out who wins the lovely Netmums Work from Home Award ? Cliveden House! Here’s a bit about Cliveden House:
Dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, power and politics for over 300 years.
Cliveden is unique. One of the world’s finest luxury hotels, this grand stately home is set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, surrounded by 376 acres of magnificent formal gardens and parkland. The chalk cliffs that give the estate its name provide visitors panoramic views over the beautiful Berkshire countryside and an idyllic bend in the River Thames. It is arguably the finest of luxury hotels near London and Heathrow Airport.
From the moment you are ushered into the beautiful Great Hall with its grand fireplace, oak panelling and priceless artworks, our aim is to ensure you feel like a treasured, personal guest. You’ll be treated to the very highest standards of quality, with excellence in every detail. Where else can you be surrounded by such extraordinary extravagance and remarkable refinement, but at the same time feel so welcomed and at ease?
Guests have included every British monarch since George I as well as Charlie Chaplin, Winston Churchill, Harold Macmillan, President Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, John Profumo and Christine Keeler, and many other well-known names from the past and present. Cliveden is, at heart, a charming country house hotel where you can come away to escape, relax and be indulged at every opportunity.
