Something by a fellow Twitter friend caught my eye this evening: news about Roald Dahl’s shed and how they want to raise £500k to move it down the road in great Missenden to the museum and fully restore it. Like Scott and Shackleton’s Cabins in the Antarctic, I am sure that piece by piece the items (toys, scraps of paper etc) on the table will be placed back exactly as found.

Personal writing and published work: Interests include: motoring, photography, the arts along with some reviews of products and locations. With tremendous love to Leica, Billingham, Hahnemühle and Autoglym, who I often write about as I adore their products so much and have since become an Ambassador and friend to work alongside.
Radio’s Dany Mitzman decides that I need some practice with speaking slowly and clearly for my first ever […]
Getting onto a train with a large suitcase, a bag of Tassotti Boxes and a Billingham camera bag along with computer and cables is, quite a precarious event, especially when the train is a fair distance away from the platform. ‘Mind the gap’ as heard so often at London’s Bank station could not be more appropriate here.
Leaving Amsterdam for Maastricht this morning I felt a sense of longing to return. Having only had one evening of the atmosphere of this eclectic city, I was happy to know that at least tomorrow I will have the canals and architecture in front of my lens.
I am off to Maastricht today to begin the Boxing Project, with the Nederlanse Dansdagen festival.
Today Bassano was exposed to the Boxing Project in the Palazzo Bonaguro, Bassano del Grappa, part of the BMotion festival organised by Operaestate in the Veneto region, Italy. This multicultural intergenerational project looks at the inclusion of migrated communities within a region.
Today is my last day on the BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour Harris Tweed tour with Dany Mitzman. From what started out to be a ghastly rainy day, the sun broke through and we had what I think was probably one of the most beautiful in terms of weather (and people we met), that I have encountered up here. Dany and I went to the two mills and showed the book, interviewed Anna Macallum the Chief Executive of the Carloway mill and then went over to Tarbert to see Catherine Campbell, great niece to Margaret Campbell and daughter to Katy, who appeared in the book. I am so terribly sad to hear that Katy passed away in January and so happy to hear that Catherine is really keeping the family business fluid.
Today on my travels around The Outer Hebrides, (for BBC Woman’s Hour), I was invited as a guest on the Drive Time radio program at Isles FM. Armed with my Harris Tweed book I went to visit the team at the radio station to have my first EVER live radio interview.
I remember the casual chats that Richard Bacon holds during his radio shows and imagined it would be just like them, so at ease I sat at the corner of the desk opposite the presenter ready for my 5 minutes of fame.
I am quite happy to see that after a couple of weekends, my interview with Andre Lotterer, the […]
