HHH - Hardly h'ever home!

Being a caravanning TV programme maker is a hard life . . . there are times when we're hardly ever home!

For instance, last weekend, departing Thursday lunchtime, home Monday early afternoon, combined a night at Newbury for the Caravan Club Motor Caravan Design and Drive awards, and then on to Devizes for three nights to see friends, and film some bits.

Tomorrow (Friday) morning, we're off to Loughborough for the same Club's National Rally - 3,000 caravans on site, with lots of interest and entertainment - home Tuesday lunchtime, I guess. I'll be trying to build a flavour of the event for people who haven't been, so plan to be busy while there.

Now this may appear to be the life of Riley (who was he, I wonder?), but it has it's drawbacks. For instance, this week, I'm editing like mad to try and make as much as possible of the next programme (edition 11, premieres 3rd June), because next week, when I should normally be making it, I have 2 days out of the 4 available devoted to filming for a project which is dear to my heart. That really leaves just enough time to do the voice-over, the titling and the final checks, so I've got to have most of it in the can ready to go.

Having said that, what would I do if I didn't do this? It makes for a life that I find full of interest, and manages to entertain Dot, who finds the whole thing quite amusing at times.

It also means that I get to meet loads of really nice, interesting and amusing people at times - and that's probably one of the most important benefits to me! So if you see us out and about, give us a wave!
