Huzzah, Hurrah and Hooray! Eat, Pray, Eat has been nominated for a massively prestigious and sexy British Travel Press Award – in the category of 'Narrative Travel Book of the Year'.

Here's a list of last year's winners – some pretty impressive names up there, I see. This year's nominees list isn't up yet, but will be on Monday (if I am not on it I will feel a tad foolish, I have to say).

It's wrong to boast, but this is my blog so I'll burnish my escutcheon as much as I blimmin' well please.

Did I already say, 'Hooray!'?
