Well, last week was busy with lots of running around London. First on the social/work agenda, once filming was finished on Tuesday, was meeting with my friend (and apparently huge iBall fan – if not, as he claimed, the biggest!!) Sam Crowther! Sam works for Capital Radio educating both employees and brands about the power of sound and how radio as a medium can be effective. Check out his blog at: http://futuresonics.blogspot.com
We met up in a bar in Leicester Square for a catch up and a couple of glasses of Merlot. Since I last saw Sam he's been very busy - in fact he's now married with two absolutely adorable kids, Saul and Woodie.
Here's piccy of Sam last time he was down in my neck of the woods - here he is taking a boat tour around St Tropez! Sam and his wife Marie (who also worked at Capital) decided to take a sabbatical, leaving their jobs and buying an old VW camper van! They then proceeded to drive around Europe stopping wherever they fancied. Marie is a keen photographer and took some fantastic photos which I'll find a link for and post up soon.
Wednesday and Thursday were filled up almost entirely with filming though I did manage to met up and have a great Chinese meal with the lovely Siobhan McCreesh. I just love the choice of restaurants in London! For those of you don’t know, Siobhan is the party/event planner extraordinaire in London, having organised big events like Party in the Park for Capital over the last ten years - although rumour has it it may be the Oscars next;-)
I received some dubious emails from fans suggesting I show more cleavage in my shows – in the interest of entertainment of course. I am, as always, delighted to receive such helpful tips!
I also met up with my manager who told me about some
exciting new projects I’ll be doing soon so will keep you all posted.
Well, after basking in sunshine for the past few days, chilling out in Cannes drinking some fine French wine and
generally enjoying the good life, I’m now back in London. Thank goodness the flights were all on time (though I was flying BA so no big surprise) and I'm about to leave for the studio to start filming the next few iBall episodes. Will update again soon - until then, have a good week guys.............
