There's only one short week to go until I announce my top National Trust Scone of 2019. I visited a whopping 36 NT properties this year so it's going to be a very difficult decision. But before I declare my own winner, I asked you all to vote for your favourites of the past 12 months.
So without further ado, let's get the big golden envelopes out and ask our adjudicators to stand at the side of the stage with their briefcases but not mess things up, a la the Oscars in 2017.
53 properties got at least one vote this year, so bravo to all of those expert scone bakers who wowed us throughout the year.
However, there can only be one winner.
So eyes down as we reveal, in reverse order:
In third place! It's Fountains Abbey!
In second place, our runner-up! It's Treasurer's House in York!
And in first place, the Sconepals' Choice of 2019 is...
It's Ickworth!
Congratulations to the team at Ickworth. It's a few years since I went there, so it's clearly time to go back. You can read about my scone mission to Ickworth here.

Look out for the National Trust Scone Blogger's Scone of 2019 - I'll be announcing my honours list next week!
